Historische Dorfschmiede Greverath
From 1950 to 1975, Johann Huberty ran the small blacksmith's shop in Greverath, he sharpened ploughs, pointed harrows, made iron chains and he shod horses as well as cows that had to pull a cart with new horseshoes. When the blacksmith was going about his hard work in the village, people would meet at Johann's, have a chat and exchange news. In the 1950s and 1960s, workhorses were replaced by tractors - for many small village blacksmiths this meant the end. Today, the forge can be visited on request.
