Manuelskotten, Industrial museum with timber frame in Wuppertal, Germany
The Manuelskotten building features a large water wheel measuring 5.60 meters in diameter that powers grinding stones and generates electricity through a transmission system.
This former grinding workshop represents the last water-powered facility along its stream, demonstrating energy production methods dating back to medieval times.
The museum maintains a collection of over 500 exhibits related to metalworking traditions, displaying tools and equipment that shaped the industrial identity of Cronenberg.
Located in Kaltenbach Valley, visitors can access the museum both by road and the Bergische Museum Railway, with free admission and optional donations.
The facility incorporates a centrifugal regulator system that controls the rotation speed of the grinding stones through water-driven mechanisms.
