The Siebengebirgsmuseum is a regional museum and specialist museum for Rhine romanticism in Königswinter , a town in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
1927 founded Association for the care of the home (the future home club Siebengebirge e. V. ), a local history collection that led to the purchase of a building in 1934 at a museum opening in 1939. The museum was closed during World War II and reopened in 1956. In 1980 and 1994 the exhibition area was expanded to include the extensive collections on geology , history and culture of the Siebengebirge . From January 2010 to September 2011 the museum experienced a structural expansion and redesign of the permanent exhibition as part of the Regionale 2010 . Thanks to the long-term cooperation with the private RheinRomantik collection in Bonn , this topic has since become a significantly upgraded focus of museum work.
The museum is located in a baroque town house built by master stone mason and judge Johann Peter Meurer (also Mäurer) in 1732 in the old town of Königswinter (Klotzstraße 11) as well as several extensions and is now owned by the city. The outside of the building is clad with panels made of Wolkenburger latite . The original building stands as monument under monument protection .
