De Moezeköttel shows housing after the destruction

A restored emergency dwelling from 1945 shows in Megchelen how families started again after the war with scarce space and means.

Plan your visit ↗

A house as the main exhibit

Layout, materials and furniture together tell more than separate display cases. Look at how cooking, sleeping and storage were solved within the limited dwelling.

Three families, one period

Between 1945 and 1967, three families lived in the house. Ask during your visit which traces or objects belong to these residents.

Film in the cart shed

The adjoining cart shed offers information and film, so context can be viewed before or after the house. The site is part of the Liberation Route.

Before you go

De Moezeköttel is open Tuesday to Sunday from April up to and including September; do not use the longer hours from older museum guides.
