Sport you can touch

The centrepiece of the permanent exhibition is a "timeline" running from 19th-century workers' sport to current events. Numerous interactive stations invite you to try things out – a highlight is the rooftop sports court with a view over the Rhine. The museum is run by a foundation that includes the German Olympic Sports Confederation.
