On 2 floors and in 8 exhibition rooms, the German Raiffeisen Museum gives you an insight into the life and work of the greatest son of Hamm (Sieg), Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen.
Numerous originals are on display: Raiffeisen's birth certificate, documents on his education as well as writings and minutes from his various mayoral posts. A highlight of the exhibition is the original death mask, which was made immediately after Raiffeisen's passing. And of course the founding period of the cooperatives is documented. All in all: a historical journey into the Westerwald of the 19th century.
In a separate room, books and documents, pictures and small gifts from visitors from many countries around the world are on display. Their guest gifts bear witness to the global significance of Raiffeisen's idea today.
The German Raiffeisen Museum is barrier-free. The "Heimatfreunde im Hammer Land" are also happy to guide visitors individually through the museum and know how to spice up the tours with facts and anecdotes.
