Culture and History

The Gebr. Pfau Historical Cloth Factory is a technical monument of European significance and is used as a museum. During guided tours, visitors can follow the production of woollen cloth step by step; the working and living conditions of former textile workers are also presented. The former factory complex has been protected as a historic monument since 1990 as a testament to industrial architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Gebr. Pfau Cloth Factory preserves historic equipment for spinning, weaving, washing, dyeing, and drying, with largely original machinery.
