Here for a hundred years - from 1886 to 1986 - scissors blanks were forged and in some cases further processed. Today the industrial museum shows the completely preserved work and the individual work steps.

A “workshop for the world” - that was the city of Solingen with its cutlery manufacture at the end of the 19th century. In the Hendrichs drop forge of the LVR industrial museum in Solingen you can still experience how the red-hot splits are forged into scissors blanks with a loud roar, how it cracks and hisses. You will learn exciting things about the history of the famous Solingen cutlery industry. (Source LVR)
