Klepper Museum and its collection

The Klepper Folding Boat Museum is housed in the factory-owned exhibition rooms of the Klepper Folding Boat Shipyard. This museum is located in the scenic Klepper Park in Rosenheim, a location that has been home to the renowned boatyard since 1919. This historical setting provides a unique backdrop for the museum, adding to the overall experience for visitors.

Historical Highlights Showcased in the Museum

The museum offers a comprehensive look at the history of the robust, collapsible water sports device, the folding boat. It showcases significant events such as the victorious Olympic participation in 1936, where Klepper folding boats were used, and the successful Atlantic crossing by Hannes Lindemann in 1956. These historical highlights provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the impact and importance of folding boats in water sports and exploration.

Exhibition of Original Parts and Prototypes

The museum's exhibition room displays original parts of the boat's frame made of bamboo rods, providing a glimpse into the early construction techniques of folding boats. Additionally, one of the prototypes with which Alfred Heurich, a pioneer in the field, experimented is also on display. These exhibits offer visitors a unique opportunity to understand the evolution and innovation in the design and construction of folding boats.
