Siebengebirgsmuseum der Stadt Königswinter, Local museum in Königswinter, Germany.
The Siebengebirgsmuseum sits in a baroque townhouse built in 1732 and displays exhibits exploring the region's past and the Rhine valley's development. The collections include objects, documents, and artworks that trace how this landscape and its communities changed over time.
The museum was founded in 1927 by a local heritage society and opened to the public in 1939. Major renovation work between 2010 and 2011 updated the historic building and refreshed its exhibition spaces.
The name reflects the seven-mountain range that shapes the surrounding landscape and defines local identity. Inside, visitors find everyday objects and furnishings from past centuries that show how communities lived and worked within this river valley.
The museum opens for visits during afternoon hours on weekdays and extends hours on weekends and holidays. Checking opening times before visiting helps you plan your visit and avoid missing key exhibitions.
The museum partners with a private Rhine collection in Bonn to present special exhibitions about how artists and writers portrayed the river. This collaboration brings together perspectives that reveal lesser-known cultural connections across the region.
