I just learned via a brochure I picked up this weekend that there is a museum only 15 miles (25 kilometers) away in Bruchmühlbach-Miesau dedicated to the invention and development of der Staubsauger. It looks like a lot of fun. But what is this clever device? Der Staub is dust, and saugen means to suck. So der Staubsauger is a vacuum cleaner.
