Eavesdropping Tour Saarburg

Visitors to the Amüseum am Wasserfall can now use their smartphone and the free Lauschtour app to discover the former electoral mill dating back to 1657. The museum's new audio tour offers an extraordinary listening experience. With the help of the audio tour, you will be guided through the permanent exhibition, which presents traditional Saarburg trades such as boatmen, tanners, shoemakers and bell founders. The exciting history comes to life at a total of 12 stations. Former radio journalist Marco Neises guides visitors through the rooms of the museum, accompanied by interesting and curious stories and anecdotes from Saarburg museum guide Theresia Vadrot. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the tour also focuses on a special feature. The hydroelectric power plant from 1935 in the basement of the museum is currently being renovated and will soon be supplying electricity to the museum and the neighbouring area again. Work on the plant is due to be completed in autumn. This level of the museum will then be accessible again from spring 2024. The eavesdropping tour emphasises the importance of hydropower for the town of Saarburg. Ewald Kölling, Chairman of the Saarburg Municipal Museums Association, will explain how the hydroelectric power plant works. The entire museum tour lasts around 40 minutes.
