Police Museum Hamburg, Police museum in Hamburg, Germany.
The Police Museum Hamburg displays two centuries of law enforcement history through original weapons, investigative tools, forensic equipment, vintage uniforms, and multimedia presentations that chronicle the evolution of policing methods.
Established as Germany's largest police museum and managed by the Hamburger Polizeiverein, the institution provides detailed documentation of police activities during peaceful times and periods of national conflict, including comprehensive examination of law enforcement roles during the National Socialist period.
The museum serves as an educational platform that examines the changing societal role of police throughout Hamburg's history, interpreting shifts in law enforcement policies, community expectations, and legal frameworks while fostering critical reflection on police influence within various social contexts.
Located at Carl-Cohn-Straße 39 in Hamburg-Winterhude, the museum operates Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, remains closed on Fridays and Saturdays, offers wheelchair accessibility, and provides guided tours with veteran police officers.
The museum features interactive forensic laboratory stations where visitors can secure evidence and analyze case details, a flight simulator for pursuit scenarios across the Elbe River, and a criminal photo booth for taking personal mugshots as memorable souvenirs.
