Luisenhütte

The Luisenhütte features a blast furnace, iron foundry, and educational exhibits explaining the historical process of iron production in the Ruhr region.

Built in the early 1800s, this metallurgical facility played a central role during the Industrial Revolution as a major iron production center in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The museum presents the daily work routines of 19th-century metalworkers through demonstrations, interactive displays, and historical artifacts from the manufacturing period.

Guided tours last approximately 90 minutes and include access to both the industrial heritage site and the Museum of Prehistory located in the former hammer mill.

The museum contains computer simulations and a historical sound film that demonstrates the iron tapping process with light shows and audio recordings.
