"Valuable. Priceless. Irreplaceable: The legacy of the first Couven Museum "The first Couven Museum was established in 1929 in Haus Fey at Seilgraben 34 and presented the domestic culture of the 18th and 19th centuries. On July 14, 1943, the house burned down completely and much of the furnishings were also destroyed. Some of the rescued treasures have found a new home in the new Couven Museum, which opened on Hühnermarkt in 1958, and are brought into the limelight during the tour. Guided tour with Carmen Roebers and Julia Samp.

Admission to the museum is free.
