It became the museum on August 14, 1888. Be safe in the Hahnentorburg and the Eigelsteintorburg. From 1927 the collection was on the right bank of the Rhine in the personal barracks of the Deutz cuirassiers rights. From 1958 onwards, the sophisticated collection of Cologne's city history was stored in the armory administration (previously the tax office since 1919). The armory itself is one of the old buildings in the city. With its magnificent portal, it was built between 1594 and 1606 over a period of 12 years. The armory was called the Blidenhaus, because it was there that the city artillery, the Bliden ().
