Zollmuseum Friedrichs

Visitors to the Customs Museum at Horbacher Str. 497 enter a place that gradually reveals itself. Located almost on the state border and not far from an old Roman road, the museum combines regional history with impressive collections relating to customs, culture and everyday life. Behind the imposing façade of a former customs office, a surprisingly large building opens up, in which visitors are guided through around twenty rooms. An old film about smuggling provides an introduction, before a fascinating arc spans Roman culture, the age of knights and city history, right up to the topic of customs. The wealth of objects, models and stories creates an atmosphere that deliberately preserves its original character. Guided tours make the visit a special experience, alternating between astonishing details and understandable contexts, ultimately culminating in the exciting world of smuggling, the coffee front and the Siegfried Line.
