- Description
- The building of the former furniture manufacture in Darmstadt (1906) has been owned by the Hessian State Museum Darmstadt’s department of typecasting, typesetting and print technology since 2001. The collection dates back to the largest European type foundry, D. Stempel AG (1895-1985) in Frankfurt am Main, and demonstrates developments in the printing industry from the beginning of the 19th century, up to the mid-1970s with the help of printing workshops and numerous working historical machines.
The Hessian State Museum Darmstadt is an Individual Site of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
