Facts and practical information

The Hoist Museum in Witten displays old machines for lifting and moving loads. It belongs to the J. D. Neuhaus company.

In 1977, Johann Diederich Neuhaus from the sixth generation of the family business started the construction of the museum. Both historical hoists owned by the company itself and corresponding pieces from competing companies and other industries are exhibited, supplemented by models and information panels.

The winch forge cottage from 1745 has been restored and furnished in the style and function of the time around 1900. In the "J. D. Neuhaus winch factory", which was reconstructed in 1985, there is an old transmission drive that powers twelve machines.

In the outdoor area there is a functioning replica of the Old Crane of the Hanseatic City of Lüneburg from 1336, which was used for loading and unloading ships.

The museum in the district of Heven is only open intermittently - usually on Sundays. Group tours are possible if there is interest. It is the only museum of its kind in Germany.
