Discover many aspects and artefacts that make industrial production tangible. Find out more about the beginnings of rubber processing, developments in the graphic arts industry and work in Hamburg’s many offices and trading houses. The museum tells of the changes in working and living conditions in the course of industrialisation. In the courtyard of the museum is the 14.2 metre high, 380 tonne cutting wheel of the Elbe tunnel borer, which was used to cut the tunnels under the Elbe. A really huge piece of engineering history. And the universal cable excavator made by Menck & Hambrock in 1937, who launched the first ever excavator on the market in 1901.
