Valuable stories at the border - The Friedrichs Customs Museum

Andreas Herrmann

Valuable stories at the border - The Friedrichs Customs Museum

The "Friedrichs Customs Museum" is housed in a listed building - the old Horbach customs office. Learn about the special aspects of border history, sometimes bordering on the absurd, and take a tour of the house with its familiar flair.

At 11.00 a.m., Peter Dinninghoff will guide you through the house. A "VALUE-filled" museum is presented to you in the form of cross-border history and local history.

An entertaining themed lecture with a short guided tour in a "VALUE-filled" museum takes place at 4.00 pm: cross-border border considerations on happiness, language, culture, morals, strange national borders and much more.

Guided tours: 11.00 am and 4.00 pm

Date:September 14, 2025
