Even today, visitors have the opportunity to admire these remarkable mechanics during demonstrations in an exhibition workshop. In addition, another interesting aspect moves into the spotlight: life as a blacksmith. For example, the plant’s writing room and bedroom are also open next to the old coal bunker. They invite visitors to experience the unusual everyday life of the craftsmen up close – and to take a journey into long forgotten times.

Extraordinary testimony of history and a fascinating monument. In the future, the Ahe-Hammer should also be available for tours and touristic concepts – e.g., in connection with the route of the Association WasserEisenLand e.V.
Care of the blacksmith’s shop is the responsibility of the Association for the Promotion of the Osemund Monument (Förderverein Osemunddenkmal) Ahe-Hammer Herscheid/Werdohl. When construction work is completed, the monument should give visitors of all ages unique insights into the history of forging art as an extracurricular place of learning.
