Sleeping Beauty stands in Kuchenheim: when business at the Müller cloth factory took a turn for the worse in 1961, the owner locked the gates and left everything untouched - just as it was on the last working day. A tear-off calendar from 1961 still hangs on the wall today and a forgotten coffee mug still stands next to the machines. The factory has been carefully and lovingly renovated and transformed into an industrial museum. The museum's demonstrators put delicate spinning machines and thundering looms into operation during every guided tour and still produce good wool fabric the old-fashioned way. Even the steam engine from 1903 puffs away from time to time. From June 16, a special exhibition on the cultural history of the sheep can be seen, which has played many roles throughout history: Lamb of God, centerpiece of shepherd idylls, milk and wool producer, cuddly toy, landscape conservationist and cloned sheep. The exhibition sheds light on the very special relationship between humans and sheep.
