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.
