Description

Discover industrial heritage in Petershagen

The imposing cone tower is the landmark of the Gernheim glassworks in Petershagen. It is 200 years old and one of the last buildings of its kind in Europe. In our museum, you can see our glassmakers at work every day, using pipes, wooden moulds and scissors to create vessels from the glowing mass. These are then refined by our engraver through cutting and engraving. The early industrial factory village on the Weser River also features preserved workers' houses, the old basket weaving workshop and the large residence of the former glassworks owners. We regularly hold exhibitions of international glass art there. Discover the fascination of glass as a material.
