Bergarbeiter-Wohnmuseum

The Bergarbeiter-Wohnmuseum occupies half of a preserved house from a miners' settlement, displaying furniture, household items, and equipment from the 1930s. The rooms are arranged as a lived-in home, with kitchen, living space, and sleeping area showing the full layout of a mining family's domestic world.

The building was constructed between 1904 and 1905 as housing for mine workers. Decades later, it was converted into a museum in 1994 to preserve the memory of the Minister Achenbach mining settlement.

The rooms display how mining families organized their daily lives and homes. The objects on view reveal the routines of housework, cooking, and family life within a workers' settlement.

The museum operates on set days and times, so it is worth checking opening hours before planning a visit. Since the rooms are intimate in scale, you can explore at a leisurely pace without feeling rushed.

The cellar and courtyard areas host events and gatherings, revealing how residents used shared spaces beyond their homes. These zones show the social side of settlement life, where neighbors came together.
