Baumwollspinnerei Ermen & Engels, Industrial museum in Engelskirchen, Germany.
The former cotton mill complex features original machinery, production halls, and exhibits documenting the evolution of textile manufacturing in the Agger Valley region.
Friedrich Engels Senior established this cotton mill in 1837, relocating his textile operations from Wuppertal-Barmen to Engelskirchen due to favorable water power conditions.
The museum demonstrates the progression from water-powered manufacturing to electrical production, reflecting the technological advancement of German industrial development.
The LVR Industrial Museum occupies the site alongside modern facilities including the town hall, residential buildings, and retail spaces in the center of Engelskirchen.
The mill generated electricity not only for its machinery but also provided power to the surrounding region, making it an early pioneer of local electrical distribution.
