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...

Mueller Cloth Mill Industrial Museum

Technology 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...

Wülfing-Museum

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...

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...

Selfkantbahn, Gillrath Station

History museum

👍👍 You can have a nice little tour through the Selfkant in an original historic steam train. The team is very nice and amicable and work in their own pace. Just like in the old days ;) Prices for the tour and snacks are reasonable and they have seasonal offers. Really nice trip for the family....

Meurin Roman mine

Tourist attraction

👍👍 What a great place to visit! An excavation of a Roman quarry with a Roman tech exhibit. Check the time when they have demos and bring the kids to show them how the Romans sawed stone, made flour, baked bread and forged iron.

Niederrheinisches Museum Kevelaer e.V.

Museum

👍👍 The museum is located right in the city center. Paid parking spaces are available on Peter-Plumpe Platz. From there you walk about 150 meters to the main entrance on Annastrasse. Masks are required in the museum. CORONA. It's not very crowded in the morning, so distances can be maintained. The museu...

Internationales PHONO + RADIO - Museum Dormagen

History museum

👍👍 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...
