Kettenschmiedemuseum Fröndenberg, Chain forging museum in Fröndenberg/Ruhr, Germany
The museum exhibits the traditional methods of chain manufacturing through its preserved blacksmith fire from 1910, demonstrating historical metal crafting techniques.
Located in a former Himmelmann paper factory warehouse, the museum opened in May 1999 after three years of construction to preserve local industrial heritage.
The museum represents the industrial development of Märkisches Sauerland, where chain manufacturing formed the economic foundation of many local communities.
Visitors can attend blacksmith demonstrations every first and third Sunday of the month at 11:00, 12:00, and 13:00, with group tours available upon reservation.
The facility serves as both a museum and a wedding venue, having hosted 835 marriage ceremonies by October 2022 in its industrial setting.
