Beecker Flachsmuseum, Flax production museum in Wegberg, Germany
The museum occupies a restored Franconian tithe barn, displaying equipment and tools used in traditional flax cultivation and linen production methods.
Founded in 1982, the museum relocated to its current location in 1987 when the local heritage association acquired and restored an old tithe barn.
Students from Beecker Primary School participate annually in sowing and harvesting flax, maintaining the connection between education and agricultural traditions.
The museum opens every Sunday from 2 PM to 5 PM, offering guided tours that demonstrate the complete process from flax cultivation to linen creation.
The museum shop sells locally produced linen items and collaborates with Rickelrath oil mill to press linseed oil from harvested flax seeds.
