About the museum
The museum is located in the cellar of the Landgasthof Neugebauer in the Löllinger Graben, a district of Hüttenberg. The forge and locksmith workshop was built in 1845 and belonged to the Lölling ironworks until pig iron production there was discontinued in 1899. The Neugebauer family then ran the workshop for three generations until 1957.
Until 1987 the workshop was elaborately restored to a largely complete original condition. The centerpiece is the so-called Wacklergebläse, which was in use at the Lölling ironworks in the 19th century; according to the operator, it is the only surviving piece of its kind in the world. Two further rooms display workbenches and cabinets with threading tools, as well as a small collection of locks.
The museum is one of Hüttenberg's private museums and complements the mining and iron heritage of the region, which also includes the Freilichtmuseum Heft open-air museum. Admission is free; the Landgasthof inn in the building invites visitors to stop for a meal or a drink.
