Museum Axle, Wheel and Carriage
Spanning 1.000 m², the collection showcases not only historical and modern axles from BPW, but also prehistoric and ancient artifacts from Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as modern exhibits on carriage construction. Interactive stations encourage visitors to playfully experiment with individual chassis components or access information. The carriage houses display historical carriages and commercial vehicles, ranging from handcarts to truck trailers. The exhibition is bilingual (German and English) throughout. Admission is free.
BPW Bergische Achsen KG has maintained its own factory museum at its headquarters in Wiehl since 1952.
