history
Around 1900, when the social enthusiasm for hunting reached a peak, the call for a hunting museum was loud. It was only when Count Arco's antler collection threatened to migrate to the Netherlands that the then Bavarian Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Forests acquired the Arco-Zinneberg collection at the last minute, which gave an overview of the trophies of the 19th century with a focus on the Alpine region. In 1934 the museum was finally founded. At the same time, the collection was successfully expanded. In the north wing of Nymphenburg Palace , renovation work began with funding from Reichsjägermeister Hermann Göring , who wanted to expand the museum into a Reichsjagdmuseum. In October 1938, the Hunting Museum was able to move into its rooms in Nymphenburg Palace.
During the Second World War , most of the holdings in Schlossgut Ast near Landshut were outsourced. The stocks that remained in Munich were lost through looting .
After the end of the war, a reorganization of the Reichsjagdmuseum was a matter of great dispute. In 1958, for the 800th anniversary of the state capital Munich, the decision was made to use the Augustinian Church as the new location. The German Hunting Museum was founded on Hubertustag officially reopened, November 3 1,966th In 1982 the collection was expanded to include freshwater fish and fishing equipment, so the name was changed to the German Hunting and Fishing Museum. From the 1990s to 2013, a branch was operated at Tambach Castle in Weitramsdorf .
