Welkom in Ferropolis

Ferropolis, ’the city of iron’ is a museum – opened in 1995 – of old huge industrial machines in Gräfenhainichen, a city near Dessau, Germany. It’s an open air museum which contains machines from the mid-twentieth century.

They can measure to 30 meters high, 120 meters long and weigh up to 1980 tons. As skeletons of huge extinct dinosaurs, these derelict machines seem finally resting in a graveyard of obsolete technology.
