Exhibition areas on Hauberg, agriculture as well as house and yard illustrate the hard work of our ancestors, the hardship of everyday life on the basis of numerous tools and devices that are now often unknown. The brewery, tannery, brickworks and sawmill, the numerous mines, but above all the Friedrichshütte in Wehbach and the Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik, where machine tools of world renown were later built, gave people work beyond the region.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator
