Couven Museum -Evidence of the Life of the German Burghers
Couven Museum in Aachen is a museum of burgher life. For hundreds of years, it collects evidence about the life of different generations of the people of Aachen. The museum is located in a baroque mansion of the XVIII century. It was built by architect Johann Couven, hence the name of the museum.
The museum’s collection is a reflection of the lives of wealthy citizens. Furniture, paintings, books, tapestries, clothing burghers of Aachen, the objects of their everyday life from the XVII century are well represented there. Particular attention should be paid to the exposition devoted to the culinary arts of the XIX century. Visitors will be interested to know how, why and with what appliances the wealthy German bourgeoisie cooked in their homes. You can also see, for example, coffee machines of the XIX century and toasters of that distant past in the museum. It also demonstrates the equipment, with which in 1857 were produced the first chocolate bars in Germany. They were made, by the way, here in Aachen.
