Even a Beetle could not do without cold rolling technology. This example is from 1969
In the region around Hagen, which is characterized by iron and steel, the industrial application of cold rolling technology in metal processing plays a special role and goes back to the wire drawers in Hohenlimburg and the surrounding area.
The exhibition shows a wide variety of cold-rolled products that consumers constantly encounter in their everyday lives. The sheets and profiles are manufactured with the utmost precision and are used for bicycles, car parts, household appliances and other everyday objects. The exhibition thus conveys a complex technical process in a vivid way.

The German Blacksmith Museum reveals the secrets of blacksmithing. A tour leads from exhibition areas that show how iron is extracted and the compositions in which it can be forged to the "Rooms of the Forge". Various blacksmithing trades are presented with their characteristic products. Models show the development of energy use from water to steam power. A "treasure chamber" houses the particularly valuable and old objects from the collection of the "Industrieverband Massivumformung e. V.". Artfully forged swords, swords and rifles made of Damascus steel round off the exhibition; films show more about this special type of forging.
Tip: The Blacksmith Museum is a great place to spend a break in the rain! And right next door is the Museum Terraces restaurant.
