The Eisenkunstguss Museum building opposite NordArt is named after Käte Ahlmann (1890-1963), an entrepreneur from Büdelsdorf and long-time executive director of Carlshütte, who donated the museum to the Carlshütte's extensive collection of cast iron objects on the occasion of her 70th birthday in 1960. The exhibition building designed by Danish architect Carl Storgård is also a special architectural experience. Unfortunately, Käte Ahlmann did not live to see the opening. She died in 1963 and her son Severin Ahlmann (1924-2006) inaugurated it in her place in the same year.
Severin Ahlmann appointed the institution that his mother had founded as his private heir. This enabled the fundamental renovation and redesign of the collection presentation, which was completed in 2016. The modernization has put the exhibits - embedded in an exciting scenography - in a new light. A media guide provides additional information on the topics of cast iron and iron art casting. The Iron Art Casting Museum in Büdelsdorf is one of the most modern exhibition venues in northern Germany. Since 2010, the museum has been run by the Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesmuseen Schloss Gottorf.

Opening hours: Tues.–Sun. 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Cooperation with NordArt

NordArt and the Eisenkunstguss Museum have a close connection through the history of the Carlshütte. There is therefore a cooperation between the two completely different cultural offerings: visitors to the Eisenkunstguss Museum who show their NordArt ticket at the ticket office receive free admission there. In addition, NordArt visitors who show their NordArt ticket at the Museumsinsel in Schleswig will receive a 20 percent reduction when purchasing a Vasconcelos combination ticket at Schloss Gottorf. Visitors do not have to visit the Vasconcelos exhibitions on the same day.
