When sparks fly and heavy iron is formed under mighty hammer blows, then it's that time again: The Freudenberg Technology Museum invites you to its traditional Blacksmithing Festival – a celebration for the whole family, for technology enthusiasts, and for anyone who wants to experience true craftsmanship up close.

Amateur and professional blacksmiths from across Germany will gather on this day on the museum grounds to demonstrate their traditional craft live. Whether classic open-die forging, artistic decorative work, or functional everyday objects – here, everything the iron can produce is forged! Visitors can not only watch the blacksmiths at work, but also ask plenty of questions and become infected with their passion for glowing steel.

But the Blacksmith's Festival is more than just hammer and anvil:

The entire museum is in action – including the impressive historical machinery, the large steam engine, and many other technical monuments from bygone times. Technology isn't just on display here – it's brought to life!

The grounds offer plenty for younger visitors to discover – and in good weather, the popular garden railway makes its rounds, inviting them to ride along.

As always, food and drink are also well catered for: With such a wide selection, it's a wonderful place to linger on the museum grounds – surrounded by the sound of blacksmith's hammers and the rhythmic whir of the machines.
