Museum for Communication Frankfurt

The Museum for Communication Frankfurt is a history museum at Museumsufer focused on postal services, telecommunications, and digital media. The exhibitions span three underground levels in a modern glass building.

The museum was founded in 1958 as the German Postal Museum and built upon a collection started by Heinrich von Stephan in Berlin. These foundations have evolved into a comprehensive documentation of communication history.

The museum displays how people have communicated across centuries, from ancient writing systems to modern devices. The exhibits help visitors understand how the exchange of messages and information in daily life has changed.

The museum is easily reached from Schweizer Platz and Willy-Brandt-Platz stations. Guided tours should be booked well in advance.

The underground exhibition space contains many objects that visitors can handle and try themselves, allowing them to experience how communication worked in the past. This hands-on approach makes historical technologies directly experiential.
