The Blücher Museum in the town of Kaub transports visitors back to the fateful year of 1813 with its historically designed interior and its collection of diverse military, artistic and other contemporary memorabilia. Interior view of the Blücher Museum in Kaub on the Rhine Blücher's headquarters were located in the former inn ‘Zur Stadt Mannheim’, a beautiful baroque building erected in 1780. Since 1913, the memory of this period has been lovingly and uniquely preserved in Blücher's practically unchanged living quarters, which are listed as a historical monument. It conveys the time of the bourgeois-patriotic movement in Germany for liberation from the Napoleonic yoke. The introduction of compulsory military service, the call for volunteer hunters, the formation of the Landwehr and the establishment of Freikorps resulted in the general arming of the people. The main theme of the museum is the crossing of the Rhine by the Silesian army, which crossed the Rhine on a Russian pontoon bridge at the nearby Palatinate after the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig in the first week of New Year 1814 under the Prussian Field Marshal Blücher. This topic is covered in exhaustive detail in contemporary memorabilia, pictures and display boards. A large tin figure diorama ‘Blücher's crossing of the Rhine at Kaub’ brings this historical event particularly close to the visitor. There are also other dioramas worth seeing.
