The German contemporary history becomes alive in the Haus der Geschichte (House of Hsitory) in Bonn:

Approximately 7,000 original exhibits ranging from a railway saloon car of the federal chancellors to an original cinema from the 1950s up to parts of the Berlin wall, Honecker’s warrant of arrest and the first Green Card for a foreign IT specialist are displayed here. Historical film and tonal documents, as well as numerous media stations invite the young and the old for an active deal with their own history.

About one million visitors come to see the various exhibitions of the Haus der Geshichte (House of History) per year.

Free admission!

Tip: Free arrival with the Bonn Regio WelcomeCard!

Workshops for children
Maybe your children are interested in seeing an ice-cream parlour from the 1950s or the big Mercedes of Konrad Adenauer, the former chancellor ? This and much more about policy, economy, culture and everyday life since 1945 can be found in the Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the museum for contemporary history. Here, children can experience in a very realistic way how their parents and grandparents lived as children and young persons.
