The German Type­writer Museum

The start of a collection of historic typewriters goes back to the year 1936, when the former “German Institute for short hand and typing” in Bayreuth began the training of teachers for the corresponding subject.

Today, the coll­ec­tion includes more than 300 type­wri­ters, half of which are sorted after
tech­nical points of view, in glass display cases.
The exhibit docu­ments the deve­lo­p­ment history of the type­writer since 1864 until today.
The coll­ec­tion is at the same time illus­tra­tive and teaching mate­rial for word proces­sing and
will be, spatial condi­tions allo­wing, always further expanded.
