The Tüftler-Werkstatt-Museum is a special kind of technical monument: a mechanic workshop that is over a hundred years old and operated by water turbines has been preserved almost unchanged.

In 1896, this workshop was set up by Karl Widmer and his son, also with his first name Karl, and later expanded and equipped with partly self-made machines. After the First World War, the grandson also joined the company. Since then, almost nothing has changed in the workshop. This is probably the reason why the mechanics were Widmer inventors in the truest sense of the word and passed their knowledge on to their apprentices.

One of these apprentices, Josef Maier, became the inventor and designer of production machines for eyeglass frame joints, but was also involved in the design of helicopter and aircraft engines and owned its own company in the south of France. A separate room is dedicated to him.

Visitors can experience pure technical history and full functionality. The employees of the voluntary museum group are happy to set the machines in motion for them and explain how they work.
