The traditional craftsmanship of bell casting was still practiced here from 1770 until 2002. Today, the bell foundry is open to the public as a museum and, containing the fully preserved equipment, is a unique cultural heritage and industrial monument. Apart from the museum, the Kulturgiesserei offers further interesting services and facilities for young and old, and has thus developed into a popular meeting place.
