LVR Industrial Museum Paper Mill Alte Dombach
The PM4, a paper machine dating back to 1889, demonstrates the progress of industrialization with its forty meters in length and five meters in height. Paper theaters, friendship books, historical packaging, and other paper products illustrate paper use in earlier times and provide information about changing educational opportunities, the development from self-sufficiency to supermarket shopping, and modern hygiene standards. Today, millions of tons of paper are produced annually – the environmental impact of this is also vividly presented.
In the idyllic grounds, you will find more historical machines as well as various plants used to make paper. You can experience how papermaking families lived in the 19th century in a small workers' dwelling.
The quaint café "Alte Dombach" invites you to stop in. (Attention: Temporarily closed due to change of tenant.) And the little ones can let off steam on the large playground - including a mud play area and also designed around the theme of a paper mill.
A paper festival takes place annually in May/June, and the popular paper market is held in August/September.
