Motorradmuseum Heiner Beckmann, Motorcycle museum in Harsewinkel, Germany.
Motorradmuseum Heiner Beckmann displays roughly 180 motorcycles and motorized scooters housed in traditional half-timbered farmhouse buildings that have been repurposed for the collection. The machines span different eras and show how two-wheeled motorization evolved over time.
The museum was established in 1990 by Heiner Beckmann as a private collection focused on German motorcycle manufacturers such as BMW, DKW, and NSU. The collection documents the technical development of motorcycle production in Germany across several decades.
The museum maintains a collection of 1500 antique dolls made from fabric, porcelain, and celluloid, representing styles from the Biedermeier period through the 1950s.
The museum is located in a rural area and is best reached by car, as public transportation options are limited. Visitors should check in advance whether a guided tour or private visit slot is available to avoid arriving without an opportunity to enter.
The museum organizes the annual Spökenkieker-Fahrt, a rally for motor vehicles built before 1915 that takes place across Europe. This event brings together enthusiasts of veteran machines and holds a special place in the collector calendar.
