Niederrheinisches Motorradmuseum, Transport museum in Moers, Germany.
The Niederrheinisches Motorradmuseum was a transport museum in Moers that displayed roughly 300 motorcycles and an equal number of engines from the machines. The collection spanned decades and multiple manufacturers, showing how motorcycle technology changed and evolved over time.
The museum was founded in 1985 by Anton Schuth and his wife Käthe, documenting the motorcycle from its earliest days. After more than two decades, it closed its doors in 2008 due to economic difficulties.
The museum served as a gathering place for motorcycle enthusiasts across the Lower Rhine region, where clubs and fans regularly met to share their passion. Visitors could experience the history of these machines through the eyes of the collectors who devoted themselves to preserving them.
The museum was located in Moers-Asberg at Friemersheimer Strasse 98 and sat near other cultural venues such as the German Inland Navigation Museum. Visitors could explore the collection on several days each week and learn more about local motorcycle heritage.
The collection included rare models such as the Hildebrand and Wolfmüller motorcycle and a Mars machine with distinctive features. Particularly noteworthy was a D-Rad equipped with a wood gasifier, showing how motorcycles were adapted during times of scarcity.
