Der Gang zum Eisenhammer is a grand romantic opera in three acts by Conradin Kreutzer, with a libretto by Johann Anton Friedrich Reil, based on Friedrich Schiller's famous ballad of the same name. This significant work exemplifies the flourishing of German Romantic opera in the 19th century.

Kreutzer's operatic adaptation brings Schiller's dramatic narrative to life through expressive music and compelling characters. The opera explores themes of love, honor, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of industrial life. Its enduring appeal lies in its effective combination of literary and musical elements.
