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

    The bronze statue at the old customs office in Mützenich commemorates the post-war years of coffee smuggling in the former smuggling village of Mützenich, which looks back on an exciting and fascinating past and has some curious stories to tell. Having become a German exclave on Belgian territory due to the Vennbahn after the Second World War, coffee smuggling flourished in the village as it was at the center of the smuggling routes.
