Bergbau- und Industriemuseum Ostbayern, Mining and Industry Museum in Kümmersbruck, Germany
The Bergbau- und Industriemuseum Ostbayern is a collection of machines, tools, and equipment that shaped industry in this region over centuries. It shows how people extracted and processed raw materials, and how these activities changed over time.
The facility was established in 1978 at a former castle location and was created to preserve the long history of iron ore mining in the area. This work reaches back to medieval times and shows how important mining and processing were for economic development.
The collections show craftsmanship traditions that shaped generations of workers and appear in glass, porcelain, and metalwork. These objects tell the story of people who worked in the region and passed their skills to those who followed.
The building is located in town and is accessible on foot, with parking nearby for visitors. Guided tours are offered in different languages and help visitors understand the exhibits better.
The museum houses three historic industrial buildings that were moved from other locations and reconstructed here. These include an iron hammer mill, a shaft installation, and a grinding and polishing workshop, showing how different work looked in various operations.
