Mechanischer Musiksalon

At the Mechanischer Musiksalon, you'll find fascinating historic mechanical musical instruments 🎵, including barrel organs and automata that move mysteriously and play precise cylinder and metal disc music.

You can experience electric pianos and orchestrions that produce melodies using punched paper rolls and air pressure or suction. The museum also displays a collection of keys spanning 18 centuries, vividly illustrating the development of everyday objects.

• Discover a variety of carpet beaters in different shapes, materials, and weaves.

• Admire Bakelite and early plastic items from the pre-war and 1950s eras.

• View small objects and musical items in display cases that are also presented during guided tours – some even come from visitors' personal collections.

• Try it yourself: sing or turn the mechanical instruments!

The museum is nearly fully accessible and offers seating – a visit that uniquely combines technology and music.
