The Bahnhof Rolandseck, which was opened in 1856, is a meaningful cultural monument of the Rhenish history of art. Once known as the final destination of the Rhenish railway leading up the river from Cologne, the Bahnhof Rolandseck with its splendid festival hall had been a meeting point for prominent people from the sectors of culture, science and policy already in the 19th century. Since the middle of the 60s of the 20th century, artist’s studios have been established and exhibitions and concerts have taken place here. When the privately-run cultural centre was almost bankrupt at the beginning of the 70s, the federal country Rheinland-Pfalz purchased the Bahnhof Rolandseck and founded the Stiftung Bahnhof Rolandseck. It has gained a special meaning due to the estate of the artistic couple Hans Arp (1887-1966) and Sophie Taeubner-Arp (1889-1943), which will find a permanent home here. The classicistic Bahnhof Rolandseck, which was restored already, is supposed to be connected with a modern exhibition building on the Rheinhöhen (the heights of the river Rhine) by means of two tunnels and two lifts. The new building for this museum designed by the American star architect Richard Meier will be opened in 2006, when the Bahnhof Rolandseck celebrates its 150-year anniversary. The cultural ensemble has been supplemented by a sculpture bank with sculptures of Hans Arp and other modern sculptors already now. 12 to 14 sculptures are planned to be exhibited at the banks of the river Rhine of Remagen in the future.

The glass museum came into being in 1968 as the nationwide first “special collection for North Bohemian hollow glass” from the 17th century up until today. The permanent exhibition displays the individual trends and styles of the Bohemian glass production and ennoblement ranging from Baroque to Biedermeier, historicism and Art Nouveau up to the temporary international “Studioglasbewegung” (studio glass movement).

Inside Koblenzer Straße No. 4, Franz Mostert has collected more than 25 historical carriages in a  private museum – nostalgic vehicles from a time when people travelled with a maximum of 2-4 hp. The retired gardener has pursued his passion for more than 35 years, during which he has tracked down and, together with his son, Hanns-Georg Mostert, carefully restored numerous carriages from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and England.
The exhibits date back to the heyday of carriagemakers in the 19th century and range from light one-horse vehicles to bigger passenger wagons to a luxurious state coach. All vehicles on display are in good working order and are used on public occasions (e.g. parades) as well as for private pleasure.

Max Ernst, who was born in Brühl in 1891, belonged to the Cologne-based Dada artists, who formed an artistic poetical countermovement to the bourgeoisie at the end of the first World War. Shortly after he exhibited his works in Paris, where he lived from 1922 on. He formed the group of the Surrealists together with poets and other artists.
His works got back to Brühl near Cologne, his place of birth. The Kreissparkasse Köln purchased 58 sculptures from the artist’s estate from Dorothea Tanning, Ernst’s 91 year-old widow who lives in New York. With this acquisition the most extensive collection of Ernst sculptures came to the Rhineland. The Kreissparkasse also purchased 700 Ernst artworks from Peter Schneppenheim, a Cologne-based collector, and put both volutes at the disposal of the Max Ernst Museum.
