Rheinberger, Industrial heritage site in Pirmasens, Germany
The Rheinberger shoe factory complex features multiple buildings with red brick architecture along Schachenstrasse, housing production facilities and administrative offices.
Eduard Rheinberger established the shoe factory in 1882 with 15 workers, expanding it to become Germany's largest footwear manufacturer with over 2,500 employees by 1960.
The factory demonstrates the industrial development of Pirmasens, representing the transformation from small-scale production to large-scale manufacturing in the German shoe industry.
The former industrial complex now houses the Dynamikum Science Center, offering visitors an opportunity to explore interactive exhibits in a converted manufacturing space.
During its peak production years in the 1960s, the factory manufactured 1.5 million pairs of shoes annually using advanced machinery and assembly line techniques.
