Bergwinkel Museum
The Bergwinkel Museum is the city museum of Schlüchtern .
place
The museum is housed in the Lauterschlösschen , a three-story, late Gothic mansion. It was built in 1440 and renovated in 1675.
exhibition
The museum was established here in 1948 and its exhibition was redesigned in 2007. It presents the city history of Schlüchtern in focus. The aim of the concept was not to set up an all-presenting museum of local history, but to set priorities. Much is shown on the basis of biographies . The focus is on:
- A film installation on the knight , humanist , politician and poet Ulrich von Hutten, who was born in 1488 near Schlüchtern on Castle Steckelberg . In this time slice to the 16th century, the Schlüchtern monastery and its most famous abbot, Petrus Lotichius Secundus (Peter Lotz), who was born in 1528 in today's Schlüchtern district of Niederzell , is presented.
- Also on show: personal items from the Grimm family and graphic works by Ludwig Emil Grimm . The parents of the Brothers Grimm , Dorothea Zimmer and Philipp Wilhelm Grimm , lived in neighboring Steinau an der Straße . They were close friends with the then owner of the Lauterschlösschen, the salt manager Wilhelm Stickel.
- The history of Schlüchtern in the 20th century is illustrated by numerous personal accounts. Here, among other things, the Schlüchtern synagogue built in 1898 and the soap manufacturers Fritz Wolf and Max Wolf, founders of the “Dreiturm” soap factory, and their expropriation during the National Socialist era are discussed . A film about the Habertshof (1922–1933) near Elm documents the history of the Neuwerk movement , a religious-socialist movement after the First World War .
- In a section on "Schlüchterner love stories", love letters from the Biedermeier period and dowry items are shown. A film with interviews with couples of different ages illustrate how they found each other in the period before and after the Second World War .
- One room shows the artistic work of the “Sunday painter” and rent master of Ramholz Castle , Felix Muche (also called “Ramholz”). His naive art is exhibited together with abstract works by his famous son, the Bauhaus artist Georg Muche .
- A special visitor attraction is the large model railway system on the top floor. With up to 15 trains running at the same time, it shows the operation on a section of the Kinzig Valley Railway between the Schlüchtern station and the Distelrasentunnel as it was built in 1985. It replaced the system previously shown here, which used the railway the hairpin of Elm , which was necessary before the opening of the thistle lawn tunnel. Elm is a district of Schlüchtern.
