Gernheim Glass Works
Gernheim Glass Works, Industry museum in Petershagen, Germany.
The Gernheim Glass Works features a preserved cone tower from the 1800s, demonstrating traditional glassmaking techniques through live demonstrations and exhibits.
The site contains some of the earliest industrial workers' houses in Westphalia, along with a basket weaving workshop and the former owners' residence.
German artisans at Gernheim Glass Works continue to shape glass using pipes, wooden molds, and scissors, maintaining methods recognized in the national cultural heritage register.
The museum opens Thursday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with regular admission at 6 euros and free entry for children and students.
The two-century-old glass cone tower at Gernheim remains one of only two structures of its type still standing in Germany.
