Blüchermuseum Kaub

The Blüchermuseum occupies a baroque building from 1780 that once served as an inn, now displaying military objects and historical documents from the region. The exhibition focuses on this area's past and the military operations that occurred here.

The museum grew from the memory of a river crossing in January 1814, when armies crossed the Rhine to influence the military situation of that time. This event left a lasting mark on Kaub's history and how the town commemorates its past.

Blücher remains woven into Kaub's identity through his connection to the Rhine crossing, a moment that shaped how this town sees itself. The collection reflects how locals have kept this military achievement at the heart of their community memory.

The museum is easily reached on foot in the town center and sits among other historic buildings in the area. Visitors should note that opening hours vary with the seasons, so planning ahead is helpful.

At the heart of the exhibition stands a large diorama made of tin figures that recreates the Rhine crossing in miniature detail. This crafted display helps visitors visualize the scale and complexity of the military operation that took place.
