Henrichshütte

The last blast furnace was blown out in 1987 and is now the centrepiece of the museum, with a view from the top. Show operations including a foundry run from April to October, and themed trails cover iron, steel and the vegetation that took the works back. The exhibition also documents the workforce, including their resistance to the closure; the Gebläsehalle is used for events.
