Henrichshütte, Industrial museum in Hattingen, Germany
The Henrichshütte industrial museum contains a preserved 55-meter blast furnace, steel production equipment, and extensive machinery from the metallurgical processes.
Founded in 1854 and named after Count Henrich zu Stolberg-Wernigerode, the facility operated as a steel mill until 1987, employing 10,000 workers at its peak.
