Glasmuseum, Glass museum in Immenhausen, Germany
The Glasmuseum occupies a former power plant building from the Süßmuth glassworks and displays glass pieces, manufacturing equipment, and hand tools spanning different periods. The collection traces how glass production evolved from medieval methods to contemporary artistic practices.
The museum was established in 1987 to preserve the heritage of glassworks that operated in North Hesse and South Lower Saxony since medieval times. The displayed objects and machinery come from centuries of intensive glass production in the region.
The collection reflects how glassmaking shaped the region's craftsmanship and industrial identity across generations. Visitors can see how this heritage continues to influence local artistic practices today.
The museum is organized across two floors, with original machinery displayed on the lower level and founding history documented on the upper level. Visitors should allow time to explore both areas to understand the complete story.
The museum is housed in a deliberately repurposed power plant, which itself is an important part of the region's industrial history. This unusual building choice adds authenticity to how the collection and story are presented.
