    Cutlery used to be made here. Today the former factory serves as a museum and is a listed building. Guided tours of the factory show how cutlery was made in the old days and what hard work it was for people.

      The museum of the old cutlery factory in Hesse was rebuilt by the local history association and opened to the public as a museum.

      Translated by Google •

        From 1938 to 1972, the Carl Hesse KG company produced Fleckenberg cutlery.
        Hydropower was used.
        In 1990, the cutlery factory was listed as a historical monument.
        From 1997 to 2000, the Fleckenberg local history association renovated the factory and made it accessible to the public.
        The tour of the production rooms is worthwhile for adults and children and takes about 1 hour.
        In 2017, around 5,500 people visited the Fleckenberg cutlery factory.
