Maschenmuseum

The Maschenmuseum displays a collection of textile machinery, knitting equipment, and garments documenting the evolution of the textile industry from 1750 to present day.

The museum occupies a former building of the Mayer & Cie textile machinery factory, where workers produced knitted garments during the industrial revolution in the 18th century.

The exhibition presents the transformation from rural self-sufficiency to industrial production, reflecting the social changes in the Zollernalb region through textile manufacturing.

The museum opens on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 2 PM to 5 PM, with guided tours available for groups of up to 25 people.

Visitors can observe operational historical machines, including hand-operated knitting chairs, circular knitting frames, and a steam engine restored by museum workshop members.
