A Journey Through Haniel's History in Duisburg-Ruhrort

The guided tour of the Haniel Museum opens up a view of over 270 years of corporate and Ruhr area history. In the historic packing house in Duisburg-Ruhrort, visitors experience an authentic discovery experience amidst original documents, restored living and working spaces, and the story of a family that has helped shape the transformation of the region.

History You Can Touch

On three floors, the evolution from a trading house to an internationally positioned corporate group unfolds. The historic atmosphere of the founding house from 1756 makes local history immediately tangible. The original documents and lovingly preserved insights into the daily life of past decades are particularly impressive.

Ruhrort as a Historical Setting

The location itself is part of the experience: The museum is located in Duisburg-Ruhrort, at a site where Haniel's history began and the industrialization of the Ruhr area became visible. The tour combines cultural heritage, economic history, and urban history into a compact city tour with depth.

A Special Perspective on the Industrial Location of Duisburg

The exhibition shows how closely Haniel's development is linked to the economic dynamics of the region. Historical furniture, restored rooms, and materials from the company's history convey a vivid picture of work, trade, and new beginnings in the Ruhr area. Thus, a museum tour becomes a cultural enrichment with real added value for history enthusiasts and explorers.

Practical Information for the Visit

The tour lasts 90 minutes and takes place as part of an organized visit. The museum is not barrier-free. Children up to and including 13 years receive a 50 percent discount. Access to Franz-Haniel-Platz is via the outer gate on Dr.-Hammacher-Straße or through the small gate on Hafenstraße opposite house number 5.
