I got talking to a guy who I think is one of the curators (my German is passable at best but his English was very good) and he explained that the guy who set the museum up made a lot of money from his haulage firm and invested it in his museum. He retired when he reached 65 and spent a lot of his time working on these projects but unfortunately he died two years ago. Fortunately the museum survives.
