ITT Bornemann has evolved over more than 170 years.

What once began as a nailer, blacksmith and locksmith operation has today evolved into a  manufacturer of pump systems. It’s a fairly logical evolutionary path.

In Obernkirchen, the original locksmith shop has remained intact as a unique memorial to the history of technology. The equipment from the original shop is exhibited in the building and shows the stages of mechanization, from the foot-operated wooden lathe to the metal-processing machines with a transmission drive. The old craftsman’s skills are demonstrated on the smith’s forge and on the fully functional drilling machines and lathes.

For interested parties, the old locksmith's workshop is open to tours at any time. Interested groups, school groups, tourists can schedule tours during which museum guide will demonstrate the old blacksmithing and metalworking methods on site. Please visit the tourist information office at the info gallery in Obernkirchen and make an appointment.
