Jagdmuseum Schalksmühle, Hunting museum in Schalksmühle, Germany.

Jagdmuseum Schalksmühle occupies 350 square metres on a renovated floor of the former Vedder switch factory at Asenbach 9, now a commercial park. The Hegering Schalksmühle-Hülscheid displays over 1200 hunting exhibits, mostly from the estates of deceased local hunters. The largest collection of antlers of native wild and bird species in the Sauerland hangs here, including more than 600 roe deer antlers, alongside complete hunting-room furnishings, traps and landscape paintings.

The museum opened in 2004 after renovating a former industrial building that once housed plastic manufacturing equipment. This transformation of an old factory into a cultural space reflects how buildings can find new purposes.

The museum is run by the Hegering Schalksmühle-Hülscheid, a local hunting association, and one section traces the group's own history. Its stated aim is to counter the growing estrangement of people from nature, so it welcomes schools and kindergartens as well as hunters.

The museum occupies the upper floor of the former Vedder switch factory at Asenbach 9, now a commercial park in the Asenbach district of Schalksmühle. The operator states that the museum is not accessible without barriers, so visitors with limited mobility should check before setting out.

Among the more than 1200 exhibits are mounted hazel grouse and partridge, birds that no longer live around Schalksmühle because their habitat has changed. The specimens came mainly from the estates of deceased hunters from the area.
