history

The association was founded on March 8, 1947. The first chairman of the association was the art historian and university professor Heinrich Neu . The founding name was Heimatverein Beuel . In the founding year, the first local exhibition was held, which showed the development of the community area that was created in 1806 from prehistory. In 1986 the association was renamed the Heimat- und Geschichtsverein Beuel am Rhein eV Volker Engel is chairman of the association.

The association has been running the Beuel Local History Museum since 1986 , the first local history and open-air museum in Bonn. In June 1986 the museum was opened in the oldest still standing half-timbered house in Beuels at Wagnergasse 2 . At the time, it belonged to the architect Dieter Haese, who was then chairman of the local history and local history association. The city of Bonn later acquired the building and made it available to the association for use as a museum, along with other additions belonging to the ensemble.

The statutes see the purpose of the association as maintaining the homeland, researching history and customs as well as promoting historical awareness and popular education. The preservation of the natural and cultural landscape, the monuments and the townscape is also set aside. Historically or culturally significant objects, writings and pictures are to be collected in the local museum. In addition, lectures as well as study and educational trips, events for the maintenance of customs as well as cultural and art-historical exhibitions are to be organized. Finally, the issuing of local history notices and publications as well as the erection of monuments (as well as the replication of historical monuments) is planned.
