The Eulenburg. University and City Museum Rinteln is a city museum in Rinteln , which was opened in 1908 as the local history museum of the Grafschaft Schaumburg . It is located in the historic Eulenburg building and is one of the oldest museums in the Weser Uplands .
History and description
The permanent exhibition, redesigned in 2000, is 400 m² and focuses on the following:
- City and fortress Rinteln
- University of Rinteln
- History of the witch hunts in Schaumburg
- Landscape area Weser
- Prehistory and early history of the Schaumburger Land
The museum emerged from the antiquities collections of the Rinteln teachers' college and the Association for Hessian History and Regional Studies. Since the 1920s, it has been sponsored by the Heimatbund of Grafschaft Schaumburg . Originally, as a traditional local museum , the museum showed folklore and natural history objects from the area of the former county of Schaumburg. In 1998 the building was renovated and the exhibition was redesigned in a contemporary way.
Today the museum regularly organizes special exhibitions and in 2007, after participating in the pilot project for museum registration , it was one of the first museums in Lower Saxony to receive a quality certificate from the museum association. In 2007 it received the museum award of the Lower Saxony Sparkasse Foundation . In 2014 the Eulenburg was awarded the Museum Seal of Approval by the Museum Association. With the expansion of the university history department in May 2017, the name of the museum was added to "Die Eulenburg. University and City Museum Rinteln".
Since 1938, interrupted by the years 1942–1967, the museum has been housed in the historically significant building of the Eulenburg , which is located near the city wall of the former Rinteln city fortifications . It is a medieval Burgmann seat of the von Rottorp family . The building later served as the town courtyard of the Möllenbeck Monastery and from 1651 to 1821 it was the seat of the Hessian-Schaumburg government in Rinteln.
