Webereimuseum Höfen

Monschau

The Höfen Weaving Museum is home to a piece of the industrial history of the northern Eifel: four of the last remaining looms from the time of the small weaving mills in the old district of Monschau. The contract weaving mills with locations in Höfen, Konzen and Roetgen, among others, worked mainly for cloth factories in the Aachen area until the 1970s.

The exhibition shows four looms and two winding machines, which are fully functional and will be demonstrated during the tour.


Cost: €5.00 per person, children up to 14 years €2.00, children up to 10 years free
