European bicycle museum is planning a large move to the station district!

The German Bicycle Museum, which has been based in Bad Brückenau since 2004, is planning a move to Frankfurt. The new location will be located in the historic Villa Kleyer on Wiesenhüttenplatz, which is closely connected to the history of the bicycle industry. The building in question, which has been empty for years, is to be renovated by the end of 2025, which provides for public use, including an expansion than more than just a museum. This measure, according to the initiators Elmar Lixenfeld, Günter Tatara and Angela Pfotenhauer, would upgrade the Bahnhofsviertel and become another attraction in the Frankfurt museum landscape, such as fr.de reported.

The Villa Kleyer is not only an important place in Frankfurt's history, but also a strategic location for achieving new visitor groups. Possibilities for networking at national and international level are a main concern because the museum in Bad Brückenau had reached its limits. In the future, the European Bicycle Museum in Frankfurt, supported by associations such as the ADFC and Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, could benefit from events such as the Eurobike trade fair. In view of the impending closure of the Bad Brückenau location in early 2024, the museum was saved by a donation, which shows how important it is to keep bicycle culture alive, as Deutsches-Bahrradmadmuseum.de

The talks for the future use of the Kleyer building are already underway, but no decision has been officially made. The move to Frankfurt could also lead to the European bicycle museum giving an even more important role if it succeeds in convincing the city council of the concept.
