The Haus der Geschichte (House of History) in Bonn remains Germany’s most vital time capsule, but as of early 2026, it is no longer just a repository for the past. Reopened in December 2025 after a comprehensive 14-month redevelopment, the museum has undergone a €25 million transformation. This overhaul wasn't just a "fresh coat of paint"; it fundamentally shifted the museum’s perspective from a top-down political chronicle to a deeply personal, interactive narrative of Germany since 1945.
"You Are Part of History"
The heart of the new experience is the guiding motto, "Du bist Teil der Geschichte" (You Are Part of History). From the moment you enter, a sophisticated media installation blends your live silhouette with historical footage, making you a "participant" in moments like the fall of the Berlin Wall or the 1954 World Cup victory. This technological leap reflects the museum's new philosophy: history is not a static list of dates, but a living dialogue shaped by the everyday actions and experiences of individual citizens.
A Rebalanced Narrative
One of the most critical structural changes in the 2026 iteration is the rebalancing of floor space. Historically, the museum was heavily weighted toward the early post-war years and the Cold War era. The redesign now gives the 35 years since reunification (post-1990) equal weight to the 45 years that preceded it. This ensures that contemporary issues - such as the digital revolution, the complexities of European integration, and the socio-political shifts of the 2020s - receive the nuanced attention they deserve for a modern audience.
Iconic and Poignant Artifacts
The museum continues to house its "heavy hitters," like Konrad Adenauer's Mercedes 300 and the "Raisin Bomber" cargo plane, but they are now joined by powerful new symbols of the 21st century. Among the 3,800 objects, visitors will find a mud-caked doll recovered from the 2021 Ahr Valley floods and a protest treehouse representing climate activism. These recent additions serve as a visceral bridge between historical memory and the pressing challenges of the present day, ensuring the exhibition feels immediate and urgent.
Democracy in Action
Ultimately, the redesigned Haus der Geschichte functions as a forum for civic engagement. The exhibition concludes in a vibrant "Today" section, featuring "Voting Islands" where visitors can cast their opinions on current social debates while sitting in authentic, black-leather chairs from the old Bonn Bundestag. It’s a clever touch of wit - letting you literally take a seat in history to decide the future. By the time you leave, the museum has made its point: history hasn't ended; you are currently writing the next chapter.
Assembly guide for my 5-cell model. You're going to need to make a tetrahedron from 6 60 degree ow units (from 1" x 4" paper) first.
If anyone has any question feel free to ask, the assembly is a bit different from normal.

About The Series: The focal press guides, usually but not always written by the indefatigable W. D. Emanuel are a treasure trove for collectors of cameras. Not for the sections on how to use individual cameras (which do, however contain a great deal of good sense) but for the descriptions of different models. They are the first source to go to if you want to know the difference between (for example) an Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model I and an Ensign Selfix Model II or how many elements the Trinar lens in your Regula camera has

I have recently discovered the marvellous taste of fresh home made bread and wanted to be able to cut it evenly.
This guide took about 2 hours to design and make from scrap timber.
With a long bladed bread knife it will cut perfectly even thin to extra thick slices from a fresh loaf that I normally leave to cool for about 2 hours.
The little legs stop it from sliding back on the worktop and the thickness is varied by the number of cardboard spacers under the loaf.
Cost nothing and it works !

I kind of grew up around 30th Street Station, particularly when my Dad did some work for Amtrak and I -- a young kid -- got to tour about some of the hallways and such. I had never known that within the large multi-story windows were walkways. I still remember the dark control room like it was yesterday, even though it was nearly two decades ago. I bet that room looks absolutely nothing like I remember it.
