    Great museum, barrier-free access. Appointments for guided tours can be easily arranged by email. Admission is free and a donation is requested. You get a lot of things explained and you see really old treasures. Some Snoopy lovers will be particularly happy about an exhibit.

    A very nice special museum. No journey is too far for enthusiasts. The veteran volunteers are themselves enthusiastic about the exhibits and have technical expertise because they have previously worked with the objects themselves.

    If you only know smartphones and the like, you should try to get a tour of the museum of the “Bochum telecommunications office” Deutsche Telekom on Karl Lange Str. Take 10 pfennig pieces with you. Then it rattles and there should be a phone call. Good for school classes and technology freaks.

    Very nice collection on telecommunications. Lovingly designed exhibition that encourages participation. Old placement places, e.g. in a hotel, have been set up and can be actively tried out - following instructions. Competent members of the association explain the exhibition areas in detail, which also include the latest fiber optic technology.

    Perfect if you're an expert. Operated by former telecommunicators, volunteers. Lots of background. Tour about two hours

    An ideal place for anyone interested in the history of telecommunications; the tours are excellent but also entertaining.

    There were 8 of us in the museum and it was really good. The story essentially covers the period from the pointer telegraph to the beginning of mobile communications/fiber optics. The information was not only well presented but also comprehensive due to the real operational readiness of all components.

    This museum will be a great pleasure for anyone who is interested in old technology. Volunteers from Telekom will guide you through the era of telecommunications very well. From the beginning to modern times, everything is there. After the tour you still have time to try everything out yourself. Since the museum is run entirely by volunteers, it is only open once a week. Every Tuesday they open the doors to all curious visitors.

    I really liked it: the nice volunteer older gentlemen were happy to answer every question, the tour was with a lot of passion and really exciting with anecdotes, it is also a hands-on museum, for example you can write a message yourself on the teletype machine and get a punched tape with the message, you can simulate being connected via a telecommunications exchange to make phone calls and much more. Technology is presented in an understandable way from 1832 to today (from the first telegraph station to Morse code to the telecommunications exchange to your own telephone and cell phone, mining telephone, time announcement, fiber optic cable and there is much more.) It was really informative and I can recommend it to everyone. I would go again too. It's free - you're welcome to put a small donation into a phone money box. Many thanks to the nice gentlemen for a great experience!
