Haus Cleff, Historical museum in Remscheid, Germany

The double house, constructed in 1778, features two distinctive entrances adorned with Russian and Dutch coats of arms on the facade.

Johann Hinrich Sonntag, who served as mayor during French occupation from 1811 to 1814, used this building as his residence and town hall.

The museum exhibits display bourgeois living culture from the Bergisch region, including works by painter Johann Peter Hasenclever and artist Gerd Arntz.

The museum section of Haus Cleff remains closed for renovation due to wood pest infestation, while the German Tool Museum continues regular operations.

The building received its name from the Cleff family, who owned the property from 1847 until 1914 and maintained significant influence in Remscheid.
