Stadtmuseum Eupen

Stadtmuseum Eupen occupies a historic merchant house from the 17th century on Gospertstraße in the city center. The museum contains collections of paintings, drawings, and documents related to the city's past and development.

The building dates from a period when Eupen became prosperous through cloth and textile production. The city experienced economic growth from the 17th through 18th centuries driven by these industries.

The museum displays how people in Eupen lived and worked, focusing on textile manufacturing and local craftsmanship traditions. The exhibits show everyday objects and professions that shaped the city's identity.

The museum sits in the city center and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that weekday hours differ from weekend schedules, so checking ahead is advisable.

Large machines from textile and metal manufacturing are displayed in the outdoor area, including a historic wire drawing machine. These devices show directly what work looked like in the old factories.
