Beuel local history museum
The Beuel local history museum in Bonn-Beuel was founded in 1986 under the leadership of the Beuel local history and history association.
The museum is housed in a total of four buildings, which form an enclosed courtyard, in the former Steinerstraße, now Wagnergasse. The oldest of the four buildings is a barn from Wachtberg from 1662. The rearmost house was one of the very few houses in Beuel that survived the ice flood of 1784 because of its stable stone foundation .
The museum contains exhibits on the early historical development of the Beuel area from Roman times to the present. One focus is on the pre-industrial main trade of the place, the Beuel laundries . An entire floor is devoted to the development from laborious hand laundry to large-scale laundry.
The exhibition is supplemented with various residential facilities as well as an old classroom and a hairdressing salon. Outside there is a herb garden as well as old gravestones and two aircraft bombs .
The museum is supervised exclusively by volunteers who also conduct tours of the site or special children's activities. On selected dates, the city of Bonn offers the possibility of a civil wedding in the rooms of the museum.
Entry to the museum is free.
