The Grünau Water Sports Museum was started in 1980 as a private collection by the teacher Werner Philipp and the collaboration of his students and opened in 1990 in cooperation with the Köpenick Cultural Office and the Berlin City Museum Foundation in the community center Grünau .

The student rowing club founded in 1988 became the museum's friends' association in 1991. In 1994 the collection was donated to the city of Berlin, and the Stadtmuseum Foundation and the Köpenick District Office have been sponsors of the museum since 1996. Ten years after it opened, the museum moved to the regatta grounds , where it exhibits over 200 exhibits in two exhibition rooms over 350 square meters.

Due to the renovation of the regatta grandstand , the Grünau Water Sports Museum has been closed since October 2016 and is expected to reopen in 2019.

The first items were mainly from rowing , but more and more it covers all water sports in Berlin and the surrounding area. It received the folding boat from Willi Horn and Erich Hanisch , the silver medal winners of the 1936 Summer Olympics, as a donation from the Post Sports Club . In addition to three rescued boulders from the sports monument , another four stones were recovered and exhibited in 1991 through a diving campaign.
