This is a guest post from Naddya, a Bulgarian expat living in Germany. here she shares some of her preferred museums in the country. count on us, these aren’t your every day, boring museums! have a look and learn much more about Naddya in the author’s bio below.
Do you think museums are boring? have you went to a museum and wanted to leave roughly 5 minutes after you’ve walked in? Well, so have I!
Doesn’t it just seem plain wrong to take something out of its context, put it behind a glass with or without some boring explanation and expect visitors to be fascinated by the display? Luckily, the museum world is so diverse and collections are available for any taste or interest imaginable.
Some offer interactive content, while others are situated in the original surroundings of the industry they represent. I’ve gather a list of 10 fascinating German museums, which I’m sure will make you think differently about museum visits.
I bet I can make you so overjoyed with enthusiasm that you’ll start booking a trip and purchasing tickets online for your next museum visit by the time you’ve finished reading this post.
10 | 1st German Sausage Museum: It’s All about The Sausage
If you’ve ever been to Germany, you’ll know just how essential Bratwurst (sausage) for Germans is. Every province and county has its own recipe, with Thuringia having probably the most popular one.
Every market, supermarket, festival, food cart, butcher, café, pub and restaurant serves the local sausage specialty. The weirdest place I’ve seen Bratwurst being sold? inside Berlin’s Cathedral back in 2007!
The 1st German museum of the Bratwurst should be then something very German and very fascinating, right? even the street where it’s situated is called Bratwurstweg – Sausage Road!

Along with machinery for the sausage production, the collection also shows the oldest check found for a sausage feast, as well as files and anecdotes about the sausage. To the museum belong a Bratwursttheater – Sausage theater and, of course, Bratwurstscheune – Sausage restaurant with common specialties from the Thuringia province.

9 | The Potato Museum: everything You need To know about Potatoes
What’s even much more essential and is served even much more often on the German table than sausages? That’s right, potatoes! If it wasn’t for potatoes, the post-WWII Germany would have starved to death. Which discusses the fascination with the vegetable and the various museums, dedicated to it.

6 | Nemecké karnevalové múzeum: Poďme na párty, akoby zajtra neexistuje
Vedeli ste, že karnevaly v Rio de Janeiro, Benátka, Dusseldorf a Kolínia oslavujú to isté? Je čas pred začiatkom predbežného pôstu pre katolíkov a je to posledná príležitosť jesť mäso (Carne) a uvoľnenie. Toto je jedna z najlepších vecí v Kolíne!

4 | Múzeum farebného skla: bohužiaľ umierajúce umenie
Už ste niekedy išli do kostola alebo katedrály a zastavili ste sa v úcte, aby ste sa pozreli na farebné okná z farebného skla? Kedysi sa vo všetkých kostoloch a vznešených domovoch použilo farebné sklo. V súčasnosti je to bohužiaľ umierajúce umenie.
Múzeum je jedným z druhov a spolu s históriou výroby farebného skla vykazuje umenie z 20. a 21. storočia na 7 poschodiach v slnečnej budove, ktorá kedysi slúžila ako mlyn na obilie.
V tomto múzeu vidíte rovnaké okná, aké vidíte v katedrále pred tvárou, nie niekde vysoko nad hlavou, kde nemôžete rozlíšiť žiadne detaily zobrazené scéna. Môžete si dokonca vziať workshop pri výrobe vlastných umeleckých diel vitráže. A dozviete sa, že najdrahšia farba je žltá, pretože sa vyrába zmiešaním v drahých kovoch.

3 | Nemecké banské múzeum: Všetko, čo sa dá vedieť o ťažbe
Áno, je to Museum with machinery and stones on display, I admit. The most significant exhibit, however, is the 70+ m high green headframe, which previously stood above the main shaft of the Germania mining complex in Dortmund.
It was transported and rebuilt in Bochum in 1973. If weather conditions allow it, don’t miss the view over the Ruhr region from its top. and if that’s not fascinating enough, 20 m below the ground, the museum maintains a visitor mine, constructed to resemble a real mine, with a 2.5 km network of tunnels.
Here visitors can see the outstanding mining machines from close up, get an idea of the work underground, and feel like real miners for a little while.

2 | Sauerland visitor Mine Ramsbeck: welcome To The Bowels Of The Earth
So you got all pumped up and enthusiastic about all the previous mining industry gems? then it’s time to visit a real mine. Mine Rambeck closed in 1974 as the amount of lead and zinc won was not worth to maintain it and reopened for visitors just a few months later with everything still in its place.
One of the ex-miners is now your friendly guide and joins you on a ride in the original miners’ train into the depths of the mountain, where he shows you how the machinery works, how the ore was transported to the surface and where, well, miners went to the toilet during their shifts.

1 | The government Bunker: Survivalists know best Why You need One
It was built in the middle of the cold War. The objective was to safeguard West Germany’s government in the event of an atom war. The government was situated in nearby capital Bonn at the time, which discusses the location of the bunker.
The project was so secret, that along with the builders, a team of biologists were recruited, whose goal was to cover the hill, where the bunker was buried, with fast growing trees in purchase to hide the location from possible air espionage as soon as possible.
The secrecy is sort of still kept today, as the official address of the bunker is at Number 0 on a road, challenging to be found even with a modern navigation system.
