Schulmuseum Bern in Köniz, History museum in Köniz, Switzerland.

The Schulmuseum Bern in Köniz is housed in the Haberhuus at Schloss Köniz, with its collection depot in the former Notspital Köniz. Its collection comprises around 80,000 objects on Swiss school history since the 17th century. Since 2025 the museum has been reorganised around three pillars: the Historische Lernwelt, the SchulSchaulager and school-historical research.

The museum grew out of a lifelong collection assembled by teacher Kurt Hofer (1944–2017). Since 2007 it has been organised as a foundation, and since 2008 it has been housed in the Haberhuus at Köniz Castle, with the collection depot in the former emergency hospital of Köniz. In 2025 the board realigned the museum for its move to Sägestrasse 65.

The museum displays how classrooms looked in different eras and what materials teachers used to instruct their students. Visitors can see how teaching methods changed across generations.

The museum is housed in the Haberhuus at Schloss Köniz, with the collection depot in the former Notspital Köniz. Since the 2025 reorientation the Sägestrasse 65 site is the reference point for the collection. The three pillars are the Historische Lernwelt, the SchulSchaulager and school-historical research; the SchaulSchaulager is conceived as an open storage and research platform with changing exhibitions.

The collection includes rare school objects like old slate tablets, handwritten lesson plans, and primitive calculating devices that reveal how basic instruction once was. These everyday items offer visitors direct insight into the laborious teaching methods of earlier centuries.
