Five stars ++ The scythe hammer is a real gem of Berg's industrial history. There are only a few places that breathe as much history as this one. Everything is 100% authentic and you get a very good impression of the importance the hammer had back then and the conditions under which the workers worked piecework. A big compliment to the museum director Mr. Bandsom and the blacksmith Michael Schmidt. You can tell that there is a lot of heart and soul at play here. Here, history, technology and cultural history complement each other in the best possible way. For me as a craftsman, the many old machines, the smell of the ovens in the forge and the many exemplary signs explaining the individual work steps are a dream. Also big praise to the volunteers who support the scything hammer and make it come alive. Anyone who has the opportunity should definitely take a guided tour. Mr. Gerd ... (?) conveys the company history in a very pleasant way and is happy to share his immense detailed knowledge. The new headphones are also great. These make it possible to listen even in the noisy machine hall. Seeing the blacksmith in action and having the work steps explained is a great experience. Anyone who is interested in industrialization or simply in history and/or technology should take a look at the Sensenhammer (there are often concerts or special exhibitions here). The area around the Hammer is also very nice for hiking. If you come from outside, you can also combine your visit with Altenberg Cathedral. The Hammer and the cathedral are only a few minutes' drive away from each other. CONCLUSION: A place worth visiting. P.S.: It's nice that the city of Leverkusen has finally taken heart and is helping to preserve the hammer. Previously this was solely thanks to the support association.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and interesting industrial museum, that is living contemporary history. I will come again with my grandson for the forging demonstration. (Original) Sehr schönes und interessantes Industriemuseum, das ist lebendige Zeitgeschichte. Ich werde mit meinem Enkel zur Schmiedevorführung wieder kommen.

A lovingly maintained local museum that is run by former employees. Scythes and sickles were made here in the past. What is interesting is that this art of blacksmithing is over 2000 years old. There is a lot of information about this tradition and production. It is interesting how simple but also professional these tools can be made. If you can do it. There are blacksmithing demonstrations throughout the year. For appointments, please visit the website (http://www.sensenhammer.de/). The rooms can also be booked for private events. Please ask. There are also guided tours for seniors and people with dementia (admirable). There are enough parking spaces available approx. 100 m away. You can also go here very well with children. Whit Monday May 28, 2023 Whit Monday is always mill day. On this day there is always a special tour of the former water supply and dewatering in the Industrial Museum. The tour lasts approximately 1 hour. The tour shows the former water flow of the Sensenhammer from the Dhünn into the Sensenschmiede. It was very interesting to see the original barrier and diversion works on the Dhünn. The water rights have now been sold by the support association because there was no prospect of returning the diverted water to the Dhünn, and the requirements of the environmental authority could not be met.

Most recently Jazz Festival on November 4th, 2023 with two bands that played excellent blues music. Whole evening very well planned. CLASS! Sensenhammer also has blacksmith tours!!

Very nice museum and a good idea to show children the industrial development in our country from the past.

The museum is overall well structured. In winter, warm clothing is important and the toilets are clean. The tour has many stairs. If there was a blacksmithing demonstration in the summer, I would come back again. I have not yet been able to find out whether the very extensive transmission system will also be put into operation. The Grim Reaper is not important but had to be mentioned... Of course very interesting for children.

A wonderful changing program! Blacksmith demonstrations, events for children and various artists can present their work and performances here!! Great!!

It was really great, definitely recommended

(Translated by Google) A very nice museum even if it doesn't look like it from the outside, it is very nicely structured and when you enter you see 5 models on the right side if I remember correctly, they also work. These models were made by an elderly man to show his grandson but at some point the man then donated them to the museum if you go in and go up the stairs to the left you can see souvenirs and other things and also buy them if you defecate in the front wall full of sickle blades on the top floor you can see what the scythes and sickles looked like in real life. If you go further you can see data and other things from the people who used to work there. Down on the ground floor you can still see the old machines and tools. There is also a large water wheel with a Leitse attached. Courses are sometimes offered during the summer holidays or not however there is also a small project on the middle floor to test if and how the people of earlier times made it look like a normal older building with a big brick tower. The building is also made of brick. I think it's a nice destination whether on vacation or in your free time. You can also see a large pond with a river behind the building. (Original) Ein sehr schönes Museum auch wenn es von außen nicht den Anschein macht es ist sehr schön strukturiert und wenn man eintritt sied man auf der rechten Seite 5 Modelle wenn ich mich recht entsinne die auch funktionieren. Diese Modelle wurden von einem Älteren Mann gemacht um sie seinem Enkel zuzeigen doch irgendwann hat der Mann sie dann dem Museum gespendet, wenn man reingeht und links die Treppen hoch geht kann man Souvenirs und andere Sachen sehen und Kaufen außerdem wenn man reinkot ist die Vorder Wand voller Sichelklingen im obersten Stock sied man wie die Sensen und Sicheln in echt aussahen. Wenn man weiter geht kann man Daten und andere Sachen von den Menschen die früher dort gearbeitet haben sehen unten im Erdgeschoss kann man die alten Maschinen und Werkzeuge noch sehen außerdem noch ein großes Wasserrad an dem ein Leitse befestigt ist in den Sommerferien werden auch manchmal Kurse angeboten oder auch nicht wie auch immer es gibt in der mittleren Etage auch ein kleines Projekt wie man testen kann ob und wie die Menschen früherer Strom gemacht haben von aussehen sied es wie ein normales älteres Gebäude mit einem großen Turm aus Backstein. Das Gebäude ist ebenfalls aus Backstein ich finde es ist ein schönes Ziel ob in den Ferien oder in der Freizeit außerdem kann man hinter dem Gebäude ein großen Teich mit Fluss erkennen.

(Translated by Google) Great, well preserved and informative museum about scythes and sickles. It is fascinating how things were still being produced here around 60 years ago. Everything is in good condition, as the sickles are still forged here today. For children there is a great scavenger hunt through the museum. Videos complete the tour. The production hall is impressive. Very empathetic and helpful employees who informed us about the next vacant forging demonstration and booked it. (Original) Tolles, gut erhaltenes und informatives Museum über Sensen und Sicheln. Faszinierend wie noch vor ca. 60 Jahren hier produziert wurde. Alles gut erhalten, da auch heute hier noch die Sicheln geschmiedet werden. Für Kinder gibt es eine tolle Schnitzeljagd durch das Museum. Videos vervollständigen den Rundgang. Die Produktionshalle ist beeindruckend. Sehr einfühlsame und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiterinnen, die uns auf die nächste vakante Schmiedervorführung hingewiesen und gebucht hat.

Learn a lot about an industry that has become redundant by technology advancements.

Wonderful place if you like forge

A rich history of the industrial details from an era that has been replaced with modern machinery.

I am truly sorry, but the place appears to me neither inviting nor pleasant to return to. There is no parking space and there is not much to see. Personell was very friendly, but there are so much better industrial museums.

(Translated by Google) The industrial museum is definitely worth a visit. The area in the basement is really a "hammer". Especially a great location for live bands ... (Original) Das Industriemuseum ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Der Bereich im Keller ist echt ein "Hammer". Vor allem eine super Location für Live-Bands...

Tolle Location für Konzerte, nicht so tolle Parkmöglichkeiten

(Translated by Google) Very quaint, interesting location for events. (Original) Sehr urig, interessante Location für Veranstaltungen.

Looks very nice from the outside, I should be there during opening hours next time then I can report more The first impression is that it is a very beautiful historical place 😁

During a guided tour you will experience ancient history. From forging, grinding and much more.

We were there on a Saturday just in time for the opening. The cheap entry also included an audio guide, which added information to the exhibition. We were a little surprised that so few people visited this exciting museum. What was particularly great was that we happened to meet a particularly experienced employee who took two hours of time for us and brought our visit to the museum to life with his specialist knowledge. His passion for the topic infected us! But even without this meeting we would have been thrilled.

Sun March 3, 2024 - 3:30 p.m A lovingly designed, small industrial museum. The blacksmith demonstration was very interesting. Unfortunately our guide was a total bore. Connections were not explained correctly and terms were used (transmissions, air hammer, tempering and hardening of steel, forging and cold forging) without explaining them. A flop with this museum guide and absolutely not recommended. - A pity!!!

Top Location

Hidden Gem of Leverkusen. Lovely people. Small, but good museum

Greencard Christmas Jazz!!!

For the Kids and for the Parents some chill moments... Small and nice stop before final destination

(Translated by Google) A visit that's worth it. Lots to see and explore. It is a must-have (Original) Ein Besuch der sich lohnt. Viel zu sehen und zu erkunden. Das ist ein muß

(Translated by Google) Nice offers for elementary school children, interesting facilities and nice location. Only a coffee was missing, but not far there are various restaurants in Schlebusch. (Original) Schöne Angebote für GrundschulKinder, interessante Anlagen und nett gelegen. Nur ein Kaffee wurde vermisst, aber unweit gibt es in Schlebusch diverse Gastronomie.

Ganz besondere Atmosphäre, i love it 🥰

Klein, aber fein. Eher unscheinbar und schwer zu finden. Wer es geschafft hat, findet ein Kleinod mit vielen tollen Informationen! Neben den sach- und fachlichen Informationen rund um die Sense und deren Herstellung gibt es im Eingangsbereich eine Wechselausstellung zu lokalen Künstlern. Gern empfehlen wir weiter!

(Translated by Google) The (that?) Sensenhammer is a great location for events. I was at WECH | SEL | WE | KUNG, a very successful balance of visually supported author readings and live music. Excellent! (Original) Der (das?) Sensenhammer ist eine tolle Location für Veranstaltungen. Ich war bei WECH | SEL | WIR | KUNG, einer sehr gelungenen Balance aus visuell gestützten Autoren-Lesungen und Live-Musik. Super!
