Balkhauser Kotten, Industrial heritage museum in Solingen, Germany.
The Balkhauser Kotten stands as a grinding mill along the Wupper River, featuring mechanical devices that demonstrate traditional milling processes.
The mill structure has maintained its original form through centuries, serving as a fundamental part of Solingen's industrial development in knife manufacturing.
This museum preserves the regional tradition of water-powered grinding techniques, representing North Rhine-Westphalia's manufacturing methods.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with guided tours explaining the mechanical systems.
The facility's former waterwheel oak wood transformed into a special knife collection, combining historical materials with modern craftsmanship.
