German angel museum, Angel museum in Engelskirchen, Germany.
The German Angel Museum displays over 3,000 angel figures in a converted locksmith building, spanning from the 17th to the 20th century. The collection includes different types of angels, from religious and guardian angels to advertising and Christmas figures.
The collection began in 1985 when Johann Fischer started gathering angel figures from around the world. The museum grew significantly and later gained recognition for the extent and importance of this collection.
The collection reflects different ways people relate to angel figures through art, decoration, and personal belief across regions and time periods. Visitors can see how these figures appear in home settings, cemeteries, and seasonal celebrations, revealing local customs and individual faith practices.
The spaces are compact with numerous details to examine, so plan to spend time looking at each section carefully. Moving through the museum at a relaxed pace helps you appreciate the variety of figures and their features.
The museum ceiling features a painted blue sky where around 200 angels hang, some suspended by strings, creating a three-dimensional display above visitors. This overhead installation gives the space a distinctive character that viewers rarely forget.
