German Cement Museum Hemmoor

The German Cement Museum is located on the outskirts of Hemmoor in the Warstade district, right next to the B73 federal road. The former chalk pit is on the other side of the street. It provided the raw material for cement production. Today it forms a small lake.

An open-air museum with technical equipment from the former cement factory (1866 to 1983), which was once the largest industrial company in the region, is open all year round.

How the "gray gold" is made; from extracting the raw materials to loading the finished product.
The heart of the museum is a barge from 1925. The ship used to transport the cement from the factory's Oste-Hafen Schwarzenhütten across the Elbe to Hamburg. The holds of the former cement barge "Hemmoor 3" are now used as exhibition rooms.
Technical machines and equipment on the open-air site as well as in the forge and the locomotive shed indicate the production process.
