Technoseum - Landesmuseum für Technik und Arbeit

The TECHNOSEUM is one of the largest technology museums in Germany and offers a journey through 200 years of technological and social history on an area of around 9,000 square metres. Machines are shown in action to give a vivid impression of the working world of the past. Demonstrators explain work processes and answer individual questions from visitors, who can experience how paper was made or textiles were produced in the weaving mill, for example. In the ‘Elementa’ hands-on exhibition, visitors can get active themselves and try out inventions, for example in optics, mechanics or electrical engineering. Railway fans will get their money's worth at the TECHNOSEUM. The historic tender locomotive ‘Eschenau’ from 1896 sets off several times a day from the museum railway station for a trip to the open-air site - with steam and steam whistle, of course. In the museum park, too, it's regularly time to get on board! There, the small diesel-powered light railway from 1961 makes its rounds on the approximately one kilometre long track.
