Textile plant Bocholt

The weaving mill joins the TextilWerk in the immediate vicinity as another site. The smell of oil and work brings the past back to life. The looms rattle so loudly that visitors involuntarily cover their ears. What you experience today during a visit was everyday life for thousands of men and women 100 years ago. The exhibitions show you how the beat of the machines dictated their work. The heart of the museum factory is the large weaving hall. More than 30 historic machines are set in motion under the shed roofs by transmission belts and long drive shafts. The staff of the Industrial Museum produce fabrics for towels and tablecloths from the historical collection here every day.
Away from the noisy factory, you will get to know the meagre everyday life of the families in a completely furnished workers' house with a cultivated garden.

The TextilWerk in Bocholt offers an extensive programme of events for adults and children. The events are completed by the artists on the Pepperoni stage. In addition, interesting special exhibitions are shown in the museum from time to time.
