The drop forge Hendrichs is a museum site of the LVR-Industriemuseum in Solingen. From 1886 to 1986 scissors blanks were forged here and partly further processed. The Drop Forge is an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH) and part of the Network Industrial Heritage Bergisches Land.

The historical drop forge is a very special museum:
Real production is still going on here. At the original location you can
experience how the glowing blank becomes a finished pair of scissors. There is also information about the history of the traditional Solingen cutlery industry.

Machines, drop hammers, presses and workbenches, locker room with
Old lockers, washroom, machine house or office: everything is still in place and waiting to be discovered. The neat company villa next door provides insights into the world of a family of manufacturers from back then.

Today the historic drop forge is one of a total of seven locations of the LVR industrial museum.
