Hamburg Museum of Work, Industrial heritage museum in Barmbek-Nord, Germany
The Hamburg Museum of Work occupies former factory buildings, displaying machinery, tools, and equipment that illustrate industrial development from the 19th century onward.
The museum opened its doors in 1997 within the structures of the New-York Hamburger Gummi-Waaren Compagnie, which operated at this location since 1871.
The exhibits document the transformation of work environments through time, from manual labor to automation, reflecting societal changes in Hamburg and Germany.
The museum maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its premises and provides educational programs for schools, families, and individuals interested in industrial heritage.
Outside the main building stands TRUDE, the preserved cutting head of a tunnel boring machine that created passages beneath the Elbe River.
