1944 Hürtgen Forest Museum, Peace museum in Hürtgenwald, Germany.
This museum occupies a stone barn in the Hürtgen Forest area, displaying military artifacts, photographs, and documents from World War II military operations.
The museum, established in 1983, preserves the memory of the 88-day Battle of Hürtgen Forest between American and German forces in late 1944.
Six themed exhibition rooms present different perspectives of the conflict, including local history, military operations, and post-war developments in the region.
The museum welcomes visitors from March through November on Sundays between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with full wheelchair accessibility throughout the facility.
The collection includes a memorial dedicated to Lieutenant Friedrich Lengfeld, who lost his life while attempting to rescue an American soldier during combat.
