Nicht von Pappe – Die Geschichte des Papiers
The PM4, a paper machine from 1889, is forty metres long and five metres high and demonstrates the progress of industrialisation. Paper theatres, friendship books, historical packaging and other paper products tell of the use of paper in earlier times and provide information about the change in educational opportunities, the development from self-sufficiency to supermarket shopping and modern hygiene standards. Today, millions of tonnes of paper are produced every year - what this means for our environment is also vividly illustrated.
In the idyllic outdoor area, you will find more historical machines and various plants that can be used to make paper. You can experience how the papermaking families lived in the 19th century in a small workers' house.
The rustic "Alte Dombach" café invites you to take a break. (Please note: temporarily closed due to a change of tenant.) And the little ones can let off steam in the large playground - including a mud pit and also themed around the paper mill.
A paper festival takes place every year in May/June and the popular paper market in August/September.
