The invention relates to a machine for mechanical production of masonry of bricks arranged in courses and in an offset manner having a carrying and guide frame adapted to move on rails along the masonry to be produced, comprising a carrying and guide frame like carriage on rails disposed on the inside and parallel to said masonry to be produced, individual driving means for step-wise movement of said frame-like carriage on said rails, said frame-like carriage including a brick laying device at its front side, at its rear side a horizontal brick storage device for stacked bricks, and between said two devices in the center of said frame-like carriage a vertical shaft-like brick magazine, above said brick storage device a brick stack gripping and transporting device for conveying brick stacks from said brick storage device to said vertical shaft-like brick magazine. The latter has a lower outlet for an individual brick and is open at its rearside. Between said vertical shaft-like magazine and said brick-laying device a supply device for an individual brick is disposed. Above said bricklaying device a turning device is disposed and in cooperation therewith. For said two devices and the other means in cooperation therewith a lateral movement device, vertical guide rails, lifting means at the front side and at the rear side and a common overall control device for all mechanical working, operating, and transporting devices and their individual drives are disposed on said frame-like carriage.
