Gründerzeitmuseum

Step into a carefully preserved slice of the late 19th century, where everyday life from the Wilhelminian era comes into focus through original objects and atmospheric interiors. The Gründerzeitmuseum presents not just individual pieces but entire rooms arranged as they once were, offering a vivid look at domestic style, craftsmanship, and taste from a period of rapid urban growth and prosperity.

Rooms That Tell Stories

Visitors move through spaces furnished with authentic décor: polished wood furniture, patterned wallpapers, ornate textiles, and decorative details that reveal the aesthetics of the time. Each room shows how design balanced function and display, from parlors meant for receiving guests to intimate corners of daily routine. Lighting fixtures, porcelain, clocks, and mirrors add layers of detail that help imagine the rhythms of life more than a century ago.

Guided Access Only

The museum can be visited exclusively on a guided tour, ensuring that each exhibit is introduced with historical context and careful attention to detail. English-language tours can be arranged on request, making the collection accessible to international visitors and offering tailored explanations of the Wilhelminian period’s social and cultural background.
