German Football Museum in 2012 *updated: in 2014
I am delighted to hear that the German Football Association DFB (Deutscher Fussball Bund) has decided to establish a National Football Museum. The appointed Museums Coordinator is Dr Martin Wörner who has for years tried to create such an institution alongside writing numerous articles on the topic.
Dr Wörner's latest project was the creation of the "Borusseum", the club museum of Borussia Dortmund.
The DFB National Football Museum will open in 2012 and this april a decision is going to be made whether the museum will be located in Gelsenkirchen or Dortmund. Further information is available here on the DFB homepage Visit also: The Borusseum and Dr Wörner's website Deutsches Fussball Museum
