Westfälisches Schulmuseum Dortmund
Westfälisches Schulmuseum Dortmund, Education museum in Marten district, Dortmund, Germany.
The Westfalisches Schulmuseum Dortmund is housed in a protected school building from 1905 and shows how classrooms and teaching looked in the early 20th century. The museum holds a large collection of school objects, teaching materials, and documents that record the development of German education across several periods.
The museum documents teaching and school life from the Middle Ages through the National Socialist period. The exhibition shows how teaching methods, school buildings, and the role of schools in society changed fundamentally.
The collection shows how female education developed and how teaching methods changed across German history. Visitors see school objects and teaching materials that reveal what role education played in everyday life.
The museum is step-free at ground level, but exhibitions on upper floors require climbing stairs since there is no elevator. A visit works best with at least an hour to walk through the displays at a comfortable pace.
A birthday party in the old classroom: Children can celebrate their birthdays here in the historic classroom setting and play learning games from different time periods. This hands-on experience reveals how different school life was in the past.
