Feilenfabrik Ernst Ehlis

Feilenfabrik Ernst Ehlis is an industrial complex in the Eschbach valley that includes a factory building, a villa, a residential house, and a pond. The entire site shows the layout of a 19th-century production facility with the living spaces of its operators.

The file factory was founded in 1829 and operated under family ownership for over 150 years. During this time it became an important production site in the region.

The factory keeps knowledge about traditional file-making crafts alive and shows how work was done in earlier times. Visitors can see the tools and methods that craftspeople once used daily.

The site is currently undergoing renovation and transformation into a space for workshops, studios, and public events. Visitors should check beforehand which areas are open and what activities are taking place.

The site was used as a filming location for various productions, including a film about well-known sportswear brands, drawn to the authentic industrial character. This preserved architecture attracts filmmakers looking for genuine settings.
