Steffenshammer is a preserved 18th–19th century hammer mill on the small Wupper tributary — a compact industrial-heritage site with timber and brick workshop buildings, waterwheel/mooring, and rusted iron tools. Shoot close-up textures, long exposures of the millrace and atmospheric wide shots at golden hour. Easy to reach by car with limited parking; small museum hours may restrict interior access. Best light: sunrise/sunset for warm side-light and flowing-water long exposures; autumn and after
