Brandenburg-Prussia Museum
The Brandenburg-Preußen Museum is a private museum on Brandenburg- Prussian history in Wustrau ( Ostprignitz-Ruppin district ), which was opened in September 2000. Education, science, business and administration in Brandenburg and Prussia from 1415 to 1918 under the Hohenzollerns are presented on an area of 350 m² .
The museum was founded and built on the initiative of the Berlin private banker Ehrhardt Bödecker (1925–2016). After his death, his son, Andreas Bödecker , took over the management of the now Ehrhardt Bödecker Foundation.
The collection and exhibition focus on the history of Brandenburg and Prussia, the Mark Brandenburg as well as historical Prussia in the Baltic States and present-day Poland from the beginning of the 15th to the 20th century. Annually changing special exhibitions complement the core exhibition, including the exhibition "Turks, Moors and Tatars - Muslims in Brandenburg-Prussia" (2014 in Wustrau), which was shown in 2017 in the Kremlin of Kazan in the Republic of Tatarstan.
