Dokumentationsstätte Regierungsbunker
Technology museum
👍👍 Very interesting piece of cold war history. Tours are extensive and very informative, however in German only unless you book a group tour. You "only" get to see a 230m stretch of the 17km bunker but it's quite more extensive than it may seem. Tours last about 90 minutes and explain the history, tech...

Mueller Cloth Mill Industrial Museum

👍👍 Wir waren 2014 hier: es gab eine tolle Führung, informativ, unterhaltsam und äußerst kurzweilig. Es gibt tolle Maschinen und Anlagen zu sehen, die mit Liebe in Schuss gehalten werden und teilweise sogar noch Tuch produzieren (damals konnte man das im Shop kaufen, wie das heute ist weiß ich leider ni...

History museum
👍👍 Ein tolles Industriedenkmal. An dieser geschichtsträchtigen Industrieanlage wird unter anderem in der Maschinenhalle die Stromerzeugung für die Webstühle dargestellt. Uns wurde an einem sehr altem Webstuhl die Arbeitsweise mit der Lochkarte erklärt und vorgeführt. Auch findet man dort alles vom Garn...

AWD Motorrad Museum
History museum
👍👍 I don't even know if museum is the right name? After the founder's death, everything remained as it was during his lifetime. Office, workshop, motorcycles, everything is a time capsule. Fascinating. The grandson's leadership was excellent. Not just the history of AWD, but also anecdotes about a jour...

👍👍 We visited it as part of the Museum Night and were super surprised. Actually, that's why I don't want to upload a photo :) Be sure to come and take a look. The explanations of the historical classification, function and architecture are also well explained. In German and English. So you can also bri...

👍👍 An excellent, lovingly furnished and maintained museum. There are constantly changing exhibitions that make a visit always interesting. But the most important difference to other museums of this kind are the regular and numerous events that always inspire. Whether it's dance or cabaret, there's som...

Römisch-Germanisches Museum im Belgischen Haus
Museum
🫤 We had planned a 1/2 day at the museum. To show our children the museum. Unfortunately, we were through the small exhibition after 45 minutes. But that should be communicated to the guests. This is the alternative location. Just a fraction the size of the old one! The only good thing is that childr...
