Ehemaliger Schererwinkel
In der vorindustriellen Zeit Wohn- und Werkstätten von Scherern
Nach dem Weben war das Scheren der Tuche als Teil der Appretur ein wichtiger Arbeitsgang bei der Feintuchherstellung, die Eupens Fabrikanten ab dem Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts zu ihrem Reichtum verhalf.
Diese Prozedur - mittels großer, schwerer Scheren - verlieh dem Tuch seine Glätte und seinen Glanz.
Die Gebäude wurden 1713 von dem Fabrikanten Peter Sterman errichtet und in den Jahren 2002-2003 mit Mitteln der Stadt Eupen und der Deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaft restauriert.

Former Shearing Workshop
In the pre-industrial era, shearers' homes and workshops.
After weaving, shearing the cloth as part of the finishing process was an important step in the production of fine cloth, which helped Eupen's manufacturers to become rich from the end of the 17th century.
This procedure - using large, heavy scissors - gave the cloth its smoothness and shine.
The buildings were built in 1713 by the manufacturer Peter Sterman and restored in 2002-2003 with funds from the city of Eupen and the German-speaking community.
