The museum is located in a preserved side wing of the "Schönhausen I" palace, the house in which Otto von Bismarck was born, which was blown up in 1958 during the socialist dictatorship.

The first German Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, was born on April 1, 1815 in Schönhausen.
The first museum in honor of Otto von Bismarck was set up in 1891 in Schönhauser Schloss II, today's community center, while he was still alive and could be visited there until 1948. Its main stock consisted of the numerous gifts that Bismarck received in the last years of his life.

With the help of subsidies from the state of Saxony-Anhalt, a new museum was set up in Schönhausen in 1998 and part of the inventory was returned to its place of origin. It is located in the remaining side wing of Schönhauser Schloss I, the birthplace of Otto von Bismarck, which was built between 1695 and 1700 and demolished in 1958. The exhibition was expanded in 2000 to include the largest publicly owned collection of medals embossed on the first German Chancellor. Both collections convey an impression of the contemporary cult surrounding the statesman revered as the “founder of the Reich” and are suitable starting points for asking questions about German and European history.
