history
The Niederbergisches Museum was founded in 1913 by the Wülfrath elementary school rector Julius Imig . In the beginning it was just a geological - mineralogical collection. During the later expansion, folklore and natural history and the industrial history of the Wülfrath lime industry were added to the collection.
Since 1946 the museum has been located in the main building and in the rooms of the former Tiefenthal hardware store on Bergstrasse in Wülfrath.
Since the necessary budget for the maintenance of the museum by the city of Wülfrath was no longer available from 2005, it was closed in 2005. In 2006, the "Support Association Niederbergisches Museum in Wülfrath eV" was founded, which reopened the museum in November 2006.
Bergische coffee table
The Niederbergisches Museum reactivated the Bergische Kaffeetafel , which had not been noticed since the Second World War, in 1963 under its director Willi Münch after specifying the term as a regular event.
It was only from this time that the slogan “Thinking about coffee with everything dröm on dran”, in High German: drinking coffee with all the trimmings .
Individuals, societies or associations can enjoy an afternoon coffee table in the historical rooms of the museum, in a historical setting and with a short introduction to the topic.
The program includes:
"Welcome and introduction to the social and economic-historical background of the Bergische Kaffeetafel,
taking the Bergische Kaffeetafel with everything dröm on ,
