The BarnimPanorama ( spelling Barnim Panorama ) is an agricultural museum and visitor center of the Barnim Nature Park .

It emerged in September 2013 from the Wandlitz Agricultural Museum and the Barnim Nature Park Center. The facility belongs to the municipality of Wandlitz and was given the full name BARNIM PANORAMA Visitor Information Center • Agrarmuseum Wandlitz . It houses the largest collection of agricultural history in Brandenburg and, in six themed rooms, offers an insight into the 200-year history of agriculture in Brandenburg. The museum at Breitscheidstrasse 8-9 in the Wandlitz district was built in 1955 and until 2013 could only use temporary structures. Due to the growing space requirement and improved presentation options, the municipality had a new building built opposite the original location.

Beginning of the collection

From the milk shop to the home parlor to the showroom of the agricultural museum (2005)

In 1955, the local researcher and dairy owner Walter Blankenburg (1901–1984) opened a local parlor . For some years he and his wife Margot, with the help of the local residents, had collected objects from everyday farming life and found objects, which could now be shown to the public for the first time and which aroused great interest. Over time and with government help, the Heimatstube was expanded into a museum, and the premises could be enlarged by converting two barns and a stable building. Finally, a 500 m² multi-purpose hall, donated by the FDGB federal executive board , was added for the rapidly increasing number of interesting exhibits - more and more from the field of agricultural equipment and machines. The Wandlitz museum staff received scientific support from the then Museum für Volkskunde from Berlin.

The museum was named the Museum of Agricultural Productive Forces in 1975 .

Statue The Peasant Woman in front of the Agricultural Museum (2010)

The bronze sculpture by the artist Walter Arnold , Die Päuerin , officially also known as Liberated Work - More Beautiful Life , erected in front of the multi-purpose hall in the 1980s , was on permanent loan from a Berlin museum. The statue (picture) was returned to the Berlin Museum in 2011.

Agricultural museum from 1990

After the fall of the Wall , the museum was able to continue to exist with financial support from the community and a newly founded museum association. In 1990 the re-established state of Brandenburg changed the name of the museum to Agrarmuseum Wandlitz . In the following years it grew to become the largest collection of agricultural history in Brandenburg. The spatial exhibition area was 2,000 m² in spring 2013. The most striking outdoor exhibit is the historic steam plow , which was placed under a separate roof opposite the exhibition hall until spring 2013. Numerous functional tractors and other agricultural machines from the various periods of use are the pride of the museum (see exhibits (selection) ). In other exhibition sections, traditional village handicrafts or village housekeeping were presented. The exhibits in the first Heimatstube gave an insight into the history of the village of Wandlitz and its inhabitants.

The museum maintained a demonstration field in the village for different types of potatoes, which were explained on signs.

The sole sponsor of the museum is the Wandlitz community.

There were exhibitions in the barrack on topics such as Brandenburg agriculture through the ages , Wandlitz - the history and development of the village and necessity makes inventive - life motto of the post-war period in 1945 .

Extension buildings and summary of names

Ongoing construction work in early August 2011

A long-planned new building (working title Barnim Hof ) to replace the barracks was started in 2011. In the immediate vicinity of the previous location, the municipality erected a new building complex that houses both the Wandlitz Agricultural Museum and a visitor information center for the Barnim Nature Park and has been combined under the name Barnim-Panorama . The foundation stone for the new building was laid as part of the 32nd Museum Festival on May 15, 2011. The new museum complex is modeled on the local village development of a stable, wooden barn and stone main house and represents a historic three-sided courtyard . The neighboring listed community school was converted into the new center and is the seat of the nature park and museum administration. The construction plans come from the architectural office Reese Lubic Woehrlin from Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, which emerged from a competition . The total cost was around 6.2 million euros, including around five million for the buildings. The EU and the federal state of Brandenburg provided 3.7 million euros in funding.

In 2012, Wandlitz residents suggested naming the ensemble after the museum's founder, Walter Blankenburg. The Head of the Department of Culture then worked out a draft resolution to name the building complex (the Barnim Panorama) Walter-Blankenburg-Hof . The Förderverein Agrarmuseum with its chairman Reinhold Dellmann and a relative of Walter Blankenburg did not agree to this proposal because the land was not owned by the Blankenburg family. Instead, the entire square should be called Walter-Blankenburg-Platz . An official decision was not known so far (as of the end of 2019).

The celebratory opening of the Barnim Panorama took place on September 7, 2013. On October 16, 2013, the Brandenburg Ministry of Construction awarded Stefan Woehrlin's team of architects the Baukultur Prize. The justification refers to the predominant use of ecological building materials and the design as a low-energy house with even zero emissions. The architect made the prize money of 2,500 euros available to the Friends of the Museum and Nature Park Barnim. Special features are a walk-in floor map in front of the building complex and a spacious outdoor area, which also has play facilities for visitors' children. The tractors are now located in a glass exhibition hall and the other exhibits have been rearranged over 1,650 m².

The new building is completely barrier-free .

The German Tourism Association checks the museums in all German federal states for the museum buildings, their exhibitions, the offers, events and transport connections. The result is the Recognized Tourist Information certificate , a red i . In the whole of Germany 730 tourist information centers carry this coveted seal of quality. The Barnim Panorama received this award for the first time in 2015, and in 2018 the certificate was confirmed again after an unannounced examination.

Permanent exhibition

Historic steam plow, restored and under a new roof after completion of the new museum building (August 2015)

The entire former museum now uses three floors in the new building, the exhibition is under the motto formed and used landscape . On the ground floor, next to the foyer with a shop, there is the Wilder Barnim exhibit (a multimedia installation ; since autumn 2014), moving floors and the herd of tractors . From here there is an exit to the display garden and the combine harvester display depot . The topics of Barnim stories and country life are presented on the upper floor and an area is reserved for changing special exhibitions. Finally, there are upstairs a panoramic window views of the Wandlitzer lake allows and a walk map of the Barnim nature park views from the bird's eye view simulated. The Barnim panorama in the Wandlitz-Dorf settlement area is open all year round (except Fridays) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The regular admission for adult individuals is 6 euros (as of summer 2015).

Exhibits (selection)

Wild Barnim

This modern technical representation was created after a limited competition by the Bärlin Team Eventdesign together with their film label filmfritzen.tv . An endless film is played on a curved projection surface of 14 × 3 m, which illustrates the formation of the Barnim landscape in impressive images. Seven film scenes, which were equipped with natural noises and specially composed sound effects without narration, bring visitors closer to the Ice Age, the subsequent melting of the glaciers and the formation of lakes, forests and moors. The multimedia show is then underlined by coordinated lighting effects.

Tractors and harvesters

Other machines and vehicles

Events in the museum and building use

Old technology will be made available for the 2005 Museum Festival.

The first museum festival was held as early as 1979, where musicians performed and some functional exhibits such as historic tractors were shown in a procession. This festival could be repeated every year in May and attracts up to 2,500 visitors to the historic village center of Wandlitz with traditional village crafts in action and with demonstrations from the museum fund. Numerous small technology companies, craft businesses, artisans, Wandlitzer associations and the Naturwacht und Naturpark Barnim GmbH participate in the organization of the museum festival .

Since around 1983 the summer concert series Music in the Museum has been inviting visitors to a museum of a different kind. Soloists from the Komische Oper Berlin play on four dates between June and September in the midst of the museum's backdrop. This tradition was maintained after the fall of the Wall . In July 2009, for example, visitors heard melodies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven .

The Barnim Nature Park Center moved into the former, beautifully restored historical school building, which was located in a district of Bernau near Berlin until the new museum building was completed. The amalgamation was ultimately reflected in the naming.
