The Deutsches Bimsmuseum, located in Kaltenengers near Koblenz, is dedicated to the history of pumice mining and the production of pumice stone in the Neuwied Basin. The museum traces the industry's development from its inception in the mid-19th century to the present day.
The Museum's Role in the Vulkanpark
The museum, which was once a pumice factory, is now one of the information and experience centers of the Vulkanpark in the Mayen-Koblenz district. It offers visitors a unique insight into the history and process of pumice production.
Exhibition at the Deutsches Bimsmuseum
The museum presents the approximately 150-year history of pumice stone production at 30 stations, both inside and outside the former pumice factory. Visitors can learn about the development of the industry through original machines, historical images, and stories from those who experienced it firsthand.
