Thale Ironworks Museum

The Thale Ironworks Museum was founded in 1986 to mark the 300th anniversary of the Thale ironworks. Since 1 July 1998, the museum has been under the sponsorship of the Thale am Harz History and Metallurgical Museum Association. It shows the development of iron smelting and iron processing using the example of the Thalens factory from the sheet metal works in 1686 to the large-scale industrial enterprise of the 20th century.
The museum is located at the entrance to the Bode Valley, about three minutes from Thale's main train station. The museum is located at Walter-Rathenau-Straße 1 in the former residential building of the smelter owner Johann Carl Benninghausen and was brought into its present form through renovation work. To the west of the entrance is the Thale Ironworks Chapel, which is used as a museum gallery.
