description
Family members of the powder manufacturers Cramer and Buchholz lived in the roughly two-hundred-year-old house and had such a strong influence on regional economic activity that the region was called the “Kingdom of Buchholz”. Because of a visit by Kaiser Wilhelm II , it was sometimes also called the "Imperial Villa".
Today the Heimat- und Geschichtsverein Wipperfürth eV runs a museum on the first floor . The story of the black powder mills in the valley of the Wipper and its side streams is presented. Trade and transport are also illuminated.
