history

In May 1927 it was decided to found "the first museum in the (then) Mülheim district " . Appropriate exhibits were collected and the museum was able to open its doors on March 31, 1928 just one year later. It was initially housed in the former washroom of the Bensberg Castle, which was used as a cadet institute until 1918 . Richard Zörner has been setting up the exhibition mine that is still available today in the now vacant old "turret house" on Burggraben 17 in Bensberg since 1929 . It had served as a prison for many years . In the period that followed, the exhibition was also gradually moved from the castle to here. From now on, the house was generally referred to as the Bensberg Local History Museum . A severe fire in 1952 destroyed the lecture hall with its local historically important paintings and the few remaining baroque inventory items from Bensberg Castle. Over the years, the realization grew that one had to make conceptual and structural changes. On September 11, 1981, the new Bergisches Museum for Mining, Crafts and Trades was opened to the public in a ceremony.
