Bauspar-Museum

The Bauspar-Museum occupies a converted 18th-century farmhouse, displaying documents and artifacts about the German building society system across seven exhibition rooms.

Georg Kropp established the Friends Community Association in 1921, which began operating as a building society from his living room in 1924.

The museum presents historical typewriters, advertising materials, and documentation that illustrate the evolution of German home ownership financing methods.

The museum opens from May through September on Sundays and public holidays between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with admission costing 1.50 euros.

Visitors can examine an intact sales training suitcase and view photographs of modified vehicles used during the early days of building society promotion.
