The Bomann Museum was founded in 1892 as the "Patriotic Museum" on the occasion of the city’s 600th anniversary and moved into a building of its own in 1907. It was named in 1923 after its first director Wilhelm Bomann.

View of an old vending machine that sells chocolate, bonbons and postcards!! Dating from 1910 and made from sheet iron, enamel glass and mirror glass.

In 1883, Percival Everett was the first man to introduce a modernized vending machine, which dispensed postcards. His vending machine became very popular and was soon after installed at railway stations and post offices.
