     This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed September 3, 1999 and the Schedule 13D filed September 3,
1999 (together, as amended and supplemented, the "Schedule 14D-1") relating to
the offer by Level Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser")
and an indirect  wholly owned subsidiary of Dyckerhoff Aktiengesellschaft, a
corporation formed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany ("Parent"),
to purchase (i) all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00
per share (the "Shares"), of Lone Star Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), together with the associated rights to purchase common stock
issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement, dated as of November 10, 1994 by and
between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Rights Agent, at a price of $50.00 per
Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, and (ii) all of the
outstanding Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the Company (the "Warrants"), each
representing the right to purchase two Shares at an exercise price of $18.75 per
Warrant (or $9.375 per Share), issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement dated as
of April 13, 1994 between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Warrant Agent, for
$81.25 per Warrant, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, upon
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated
September 3, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letters of
Transmittal, (the Offer to Purchase and the Letters of Transmittal, as amended
or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the "Offer").  Unless
otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned thereto in the Offer to Purchase.

     The Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     ITEM 5  Purpose of the Tender Offer and Plans or Proposals of Bidder.

     Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Surviving
Corporation has been reconstituted and currently consists of Felix Pardo,
William Troutman, Peter Steiner, Philip Magel, Alexander Roentgen and Michael
Clarke. In addition, Mr. Clarke has been named President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Surviving Corporation.

     ITEM 6  Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.

     Based on the final report supplied by the Depositary, 18,329,265 Shares and
2,628,238 Warrants (together representing approximately 94.5% of the Fully
Diluted Shares) were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

     On October 8, 1999, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of September 2, 1999, by and among the Parent, Purchaser and the Company,
Purchaser merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving

outstanding Share (other than Shares (i) held in the treasury of the Company or
owned by any of its subsidiaries, (ii) owned by Purchaser, and (iii) held by
stockholders who properly perfect their dissenters' rights) has been converted
into the right to receive $50.00 in cash. Upon the Effective Time, Parent owned
100% of the outstanding Shares and approximately 98.9% of the Fully Diluted
Shares. Upon the Effective Time, the par value of the Shares became $.01 per
Share.

     On October 4, 1999, the New York Stock Exchange suspended trading in Shares
and Warrants and stated that it would seek approval from the Securities and
Exchange Commission to delist the Shares and Warrants.
