The dominant role of the ironworking trade in the historical economic structure still distinguishes the region around Steinbach-Hallenberg from other regions today. The exhibition rooms on the small iron trade provide information in an interesting way about the production conditions of past times and provide exciting facts about the small iron trade in the region.

In addition to the traditional iron trade, the cigar industry was also able to establish itself towards the end of the 20th century. Foreign manufacturers from Hamburg, Gießen, Mannheim and Arnstadt established branches in Steinbach-Hallenberg. The production of hand-rolled cigars is vividly conveyed by means of individual exhibits from local companies.
