Tuchmuseum Lennep, museum in Germany

Tuchmuseum Lennep occupies part of the GGS Freiherr vom Stein school building at Hardtstraße 2, opposite the Röntgen-Museum. Its six rooms trace cloth making in the Bergisches Land through the example of Johann Wülfing & Sohn, from hand-spun yarn and weaving to fashion patterns and workers' housing.

In 1984, Johann Wülfing & Sohn and Detmar Hardt decided to set up a factory museum in the old manor house on the company grounds. It opened in 1987 and welcomed employees first; bus groups came for factory and museum tours. After the firm closed in 1996, the exhibits moved to the Freiherr-vom-Stein school building, and the Tuchmuseum opened there in summer 1997 under the Anna-Hardt-Stiftung.

The name refers to cloth production, which shaped life in this district for generations. The displays show how people transformed wool into fabric and how this craft was rooted in the daily life of the community.

The museum occupies rooms in the GGS Freiherr vom Stein school building at Hardtstraße 2, with its entrance on Schwelmer Straße facing the Röntgen-Museum. The rooms are not wheelchair accessible, so visitors with mobility aids should plan accordingly. It is run by volunteers, so opening times are limited.

The museum opened in 1997 in rooms of the GGS Freiherr vom Stein school, after the company museum at Johann Wülfing & Sohn in Dahlerau closed with the works in 1997. Its collection continues the earlier Textilmuseum Wülfing, and the Anna-Hardt-Stiftung, founded in 1838, has run it since.
