Hiltruper Museum, Münster

The Hiltrup Museum is a Westphalian museum of local history in the Hiltrup district of Münster. It was founded in 1984 on the own initiative of the Heimatverein Heimatfreunde Hiltrup.

The sponsor is the Förderverein Hiltrup Museum e. V. The purpose of the association is to establish and maintain a museum in order to preserve and complete museum pieces from the past of the district and to make them accessible to the public. A board of trustees assists the board in an advisory capacity.

For the first 14 years, the museum was located on the upper floor of the former Wentrup steam mill. Since 1998 it has been located in the former Hiltrup fire station. Numerous volunteers run the cultural institution. The 180 square meter area shows the development of the district's history. Furthermore, temporary exhibitions are presented at regular intervals and lectures on Hiltrup's history are organized. The museum is open on Sundays.
