Museum of Industrial Culture

The Museum of Industrial Culture occupies a former screw factory building from the Julius Tafel ironworks and displays exhibits related to technology and society across a large interior space. The rooms are arranged so visitors can understand the layout of a historical factory and see different work areas.

The factory began in 1876 as part of the Julius Tafel ironworks and produced screws until closing in 1975. The building was converted to a museum in 1988 and remains one of the last surviving structures from that industrial complex.

The name reflects the factory buildings visitors walk through today. The spaces show how people worked and lived here as machines and technologies transformed their daily routines and social relationships.

The museum opens most days of the week with extended hours on weekends, giving visitors flexible options for planning a visit. It is located at a straightforward address that is accessible by public transportation or car.

Inside the museum operates an old cinema that shows films in a historical setting. Visitors can also explore a motorcycle collection and rotating displays about household appliances that show how everyday life changed.
