Description
In the Frickingen district of Altheim, an engineering tribute of a very special kind has been preserved: a mechanic's workshop powered by a water turbine. It is a place where you can experience engineering history at its purest – and everything is in full working order! The workshop was built in 1896 and has been virtually unchanged since the First World War. Just like its former owners, it is a real original!
