Museum der Arbeit

The Museum of Labour is located on the former site of the New-York Hamburger Gummi-Waaren Compagnie in Hamburg-Barmbek. The company was established in 1871 and constantly expanded and is today one of the oldest surviving factory ensembles in Hamburg. The exhibition of the Museum of Labour opened in 1997 in the building of the "New Factory" after careful renovation of the old structure from 1908. In 2006, the renovation of another part of the historic factory ensemble, the "Old Factory" from 1871, was completed. Since then, the museum has had three large exhibition and event rooms. Outside of the museum's use for special exhibitions, they are available for events.

The entire museum is equipped for the disabled and has goods lifts. All rooms are alarm-secured. The museum is centrally located. It can also be reached by the historic saloon car of the Hamburg elevated railway via Barmbek station or directly via its own landing stage on the Osterbek Canal with an Alster steamer. We are happy to offer museum tours or demonstrations - customised to the wishes of our visitors.
