From a commodity trading company to an international Group
The site where the history of the Haniel Group began over 250 years ago – the historic Packhaus – is today the Haniel Museum. Over three floors, the visitors experience how the family company developed into an international Group. You can see original papers, historic furniture and lovingly restored living and working rooms.
Economic history of the region
The Haniel Museum makes it clear that the history of the Group is closely connected to the economic history of the Ruhr area. The exhibition documents how the region became one of the most important industrial areas in Germany and how Haniel drove industrialisation in the area of Duisburg.
