Kammgarnspinnerei Kaiserslautern

Kammgarnspinnerei Kaiserslautern is a textile factory with multiple red brick buildings and wooden beam structures showing industrial architecture from the late 1800s. The complex includes the Old Boiler House from 1860 and several renovated buildings that serve various purposes today.

The mill was founded in 1857 and experienced major expansion between 1905 and 1912 to increase production. During World War II, manufacturing shifted from textiles to military goods including grenades and sodium paper.

The site now serves as a cultural center where people gather for music performances, art displays, and community activities. It has transformed from an industrial production space into a venue where locals and visitors experience contemporary cultural life.

The site sits in an industrial neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot, with the red brick buildings standing out clearly. The best time to visit is during event days when the spaces open and activity fills the grounds.

The factory still houses original machinery and workshop equipment from the production era that visitors can explore. These preserved items offer a direct look at the craftsmanship processes and daily work routines of past workers.
