Product Info

The tour of the historic Graba screw factory is an extraordinary journey through time to a place that seems as if time has stood still. As a true lost place, the factory offers a rare and authentic insight into the industrial working world of the 20th century.

Production stopped in the early 1990s, and since then, the machines, workshops, offices, and social rooms have remained almost unchanged. During the guided tour, you'll enter original production rooms with historic machines, transmissions, and tools. Many details give the impression that the workers have only recently left their jobs.

Your guide will tell you the history of the screw factory, explain the production processes of the time, and make clear the importance of the industry for Saalfeld's economic development. The focus isn't just on the technology, but also on the everyday work, the people, and the atmosphere of this special place.

The Graba screw factory isn't a staged museum, but an authentic place with raw charm and an impressive atmosphere. It's precisely this original character that makes the tour a special experience for anyone interested in lost places, industrial history, and unusual sights.
