On display is an extensive collection of historical machinery, ranging from a 12-meter-long cotton knitting machine and winding machines to modern knitting machines. Many of the machines are still functional and will be demonstrated.
Furthermore, finishing machines such as linking, sewing, and forming machines are exhibited, along with a comprehensive collection of hosiery samples. In addition to numerous artifacts from the hosiery industry, a stocking weaver's workshop from around 1895 offers a glimpse into the life of a family of Erzgebirge stocking weavers.
