Production sites and logistics in NRW

Industrial culture has many facets in North Rhine-Westphalia: Former textile factories such as the Müller cloth factory are now museums that tell the story of the stages of fabric production and processing. But it is often far from the end of the line. In production sites such as the Gernheim glassworks or the Hendrichs drop forge, the furnaces are still glowing in museum operations today. The special thing about many of the sites is that it feels as if the workers are only on a short break and everyday life is about to resume. Visitors are taken on an authentic journey through the industrial history of individual regions and can immerse themselves in a working world that has long since disappeared.
