Technical cultural heritage with increasing monument status.
The Bismarck bicycle factory was founded in Radevormwald in 1896, and production began a year later in the Bergerhof district.

Motorcycles, mopeds, bicycles, bicycles with auxiliary motors (precursors of today's e-bikes), and sewing machines were produced.
In 1957, the Bismarck Works declared bankruptcy and the factory closed. An extensive private collection of historic Bismarck motorcycles formed the basis for the museum in Radevormwald, established in 2015, which displays a large number of exhibits from the Bismarck Works' production in two rooms.
The exhibits are complemented by a large photo exhibition "All about Bismarck and cycling history".
The association Interessengemeinschaft (IG) Bismarck-Zweiräder eV was founded in 2016.
