It was the Esche family who started producing stockings in Limbach in the 17th century. Many generations later, Reinhold Esche built his factory in Sachsenstraße from 1853, which today houses the Esche Museum, Lab and Forum, where textile history is not only told, but made tangible. People with a love of knitting, a penchant for beautiful things made of wool and a heart for all things textile such as socks, scarves, jumpers, cushion covers and even wraps for street signs met here for a whole weekend.
