As a former weaver's house in Neudorf in Bavaria, the Weberhausmuseum Neudorf is an example of the historical weaving industry in the Franconian Forest .

In the middle of the 19th century, mainly weaver families lived in the village as their main occupation, in addition there were peasant families who weaved part-time and weavers who lived on rent. The weaver's house museum on the southern outskirts illustrates the simple living conditions of hand weavers and, with its exhibits, draws on the inventory of the Wolfrum family. Karl Wolfrum (1879–1964) was one of the last residents of the house. The restoration and the inauguration of the museum on November 2, 1971 fell during Heinrich Lang's tenure as district administrator of the former Naila district . The sponsorship was in 1973 of the interest group e. V. for local beautification and monument preservation.

The Weberhaus is a listed building . It is a single-storey stable house with a gable roof from the end of the 18th century. The gable has boarded studs . It is one of the few thatched-roof houses in the Hof district . There is a covered draw well next to the entrance . There were stables for goats, pigs, chickens and geese in the residential stable house. The special features of the interior include the black kitchen and the attached oven .

The museum is open from May 1st until Thanksgiving on Sundays and public holidays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., for groups by arrangement. Further starting points for the history of weaving in the Franconian Forest are the Upper Franconian Textile Museum in the neighboring town of Helmbrechts and the weavers' houses in Kleinschwarzenbach .
