View of the Pegnitz River in Lauf

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a wonderful view of the weir and the Pegnitz. This has a length of about 113 km.
The river name goes back to the name "Paginza" from 889 and is seen as a derivative of "flowing water".
The source is located in the city of Pegnitz.
North of the inner city of Fürth, the Pegnitz merges with the Rednitz to form the Regnitz.

Industrial Museum in Lauf an der Pegnitz

Highlight • Monument

museum.de
An exciting tour through four areas awaits the visitor: The early industry includes an iron hammer mill with original equipment and a complete grain mill. The municipal crafts and trades department houses a plumbing workshop, an umbrella and hat maker's workshop and a hairdresser's salon. In the living area, an apartment with a children's room, bedroom, kitchen and living room from the 1950s/60s brings the days of kidney-shaped tables and petticoats to life. The high industry takes up a lot of space: This includes an impressive steam engine from 1902 and a former factory in which valve cones for engines were produced from 1911 to 1991. The facility includes, among other things, a drop forge with powerful screw presses, a production hall with lathes from different decades, a hydraulic structure set in the Pegnitz as a steel store, as well as living and social rooms.
