Loud and hot!

In the historic forge hall, furnaces roar and red-hot steel is shaped under heavy machinery. Selected blacksmithing techniques used in scythe production are demonstrated and explained live.

About the venue: Industriemuseum Freudenthaler Sensenhammer

The Freudenthaler Sensenhammer in Leverkusen is an industrial museum housed in a former scythe forge whose roots go back to the 17th century. The preserved machinery and water-powered hammer works give a vivid picture of early metal craftsmanship in the Bergisches Land region. The site regularly hosts guided tours, craft demonstrations, and cultural events.
