Tuchmuseum Lennep, museum in Germany
Tuchmuseum Lennep is a museum in Remscheid that shows the history of textile production in the region. The building was once a family factory run by Wülfing and now displays spinning wheels, old looms, and sewing machines in their original form.
The Wülfing family operated a wool weaving mill at this site for over 200 years, producing fine fabrics sold across Europe. After the factory closed, the building was transformed into a museum to preserve the region's textile tradition.
The name refers to cloth production, which shaped life in this district for generations. The displays show how people transformed wool into fabric and how this craft was rooted in the daily life of the community.
The museum is spread across ground and upper floors, with an elevator and some internal stairs. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the floors are uneven and there are tight spaces.
The museum preserves everyday moments from factory life, such as the story of workers swimming after a long day. These personal details show how people spent their free time alongside hard factory work and shaped the community.
