German Football Museum
Multimedia museum
One ball - 1,000 stories! The German Football Museum in Dortmund is a world of experience full of your own memories: Out of nowhere you hear that Rahn should shoot from the back.
You relive how Gerd Müller scores from a turn, how Olli Bierhoff scores the golden goal, how a summer becomes a fairy tale, and how Germany already leads 5:0 against Brazil at half-time.
Feelings creep up. Through a piece of cloth, marked by traces of hard duels. Through sounds, voices, cheers. Through unforgettable game scenes. Through shoes that still have grass on them. Through trophies that reflect the glory of great soccer moments.
