Technik-Museum Kassel
Technology museum in the former Henschel works in Rothenditmold, showcasing inventions and industrial products from Kassel and northern Hesse.
Over het museum
The nonprofit association Technik-Museum Kassel was founded in September 2005 to make the rich industrial history of Kassel and northern Hesse visible. In 2010, the museum opened on Wolfhager Straße in the Rothenditmold district. Today it is managed by a nonprofit operating company (gGmbH) and supported by many volunteers.
The site itself bears witness to industrial history: from 1871, Henschel built its Plant II here, with a boiler shop and forge, its own power station and a hydraulic pressure system; production continued in the halls until the late 1990s. The museum uses two bays of the former boiler shop as well as office buildings for exhibition space and storage. On the same grounds, a separate association runs the Henschel-Museum.
The collection ranges from mining through steam, electrical and communications technology to machine tools, firefighting, aviation and medical technology; a focus is on rail vehicles and historic KVG trams, which have been here since the end of 2014. Since 2015, model railway enthusiasts have been building the large layout "Bebra 1958". An object of the month and an oral history project on regional technology history round out the exhibition.
