Das Rum-Museum, Flensburg, Germany
We have visited Flensburg, Germany, during my summer vacation in June 2003. There is a rum museum in the Schiffahrtsmuseum (Maritime Museum). |

Both museums are located in the former customhouse. There in its cellar, where once was a bonded rum warehouse, is since 1993 an exposition of the famous rum history of the city of Flensburg. |
Flensburg was the home of about 30 rum importing companies at the beginning of the 20th century, which sold rum under their own label. Johannsen-Rum is last of them left today (view labels here). The right picture shows me with my hands full of their products :-)

We have found a new rum producer in Flensburg too. This good rum you can also buy in the rum museum. The company's name is Weinhaus Braasch. |
