The Garrison Museum Nuremberg is a military history museum established in 1992 as part of the Museum of Industrial Culture , which has been located as an independent museum in the former high bunker Hohe Marter in the district of the same name since 1996 .

history

With the beginning of the dissolution of the Nuremberg military base in 1992, a support association was formed that pursued the establishment of a military history museum. With the inclusion of a military history collection of the Bundeswehr, the Garrison Museum was opened in the same year as a sub-museum of the Museum of Industrial Culture on its premises. The move to a former air raid shelter in the Hohe Marter district took place in 1996 as an independent museum . In 2006 the archive and the associated specialist library were relocated to the Spittlertorturm on the Nuremberg city wall for reasons of space .

museum

In addition to a permanent exhibition, the Nuremberg Garrison Museum also includes an archive, a specialist library as well as special tours, lecture events and military-historical trips.

exhibition

In the exhibition, which includes large dioramas, uniforms, vehicles, weapons, photos, documents, medals, decorations and much more, the military history of Middle Franconia , especially that of the city of Nuremberg, is presented. The approximately 300 m² exhibition area is thematically divided into the history of the city of Nuremberg and shows the equipment of the imperial city military until 1806, the clothing and organization of the Royal Bavarian Army until 1918, the Reichswehr until 1933, the Wehrmacht until 1945 and the Bundeswehr as well of the US armed forces until the 1990s. In addition to the living conditions of the soldiers, which are shown, for example, using a trench section from 1916, a command post scene from 1944, a prisoner of war camp or a Bundeswehr room, models of the navy, field positions from the world wars and typical air raid shelters from the Second World War are also shown. Likewise, the lives of soldiers of all ages and ranks are presented with the help of complete family estates.

Archives and Library

Entrance to the archive and library building

The archive and library, which were created at the same time as the museum, were relocated to the Spittlertorturm on Nuremberg's Plärrer in 2006 due to a lack of space at the Hohe Marter site . The military history specialist library now comprises around 10,000 volumes and the archive has a large collection of documents and photos.

Special tours

Special tours in the museum and in the city are also available on request, including:

• The colorful skirt - The Royal Bavarian Army in the greater area
• The Reichswehr in Nuremberg, Fürth and Erlangen
• The world wars
• Without any special occurrences? - The garrison in the Third Reich

• What some don't know - soldiers' humor and military curiosities
• German soldiers of the Jewish faith - a forgotten chapter in military history

building

The listed high bunker Hohe Marter was built in 1941 as a seven-storey round building with a flat goblet roof, arched portal and arcade frieze as part of the air protection measures. The reinforced concrete building with brick facing has roughly 2.40 m thick walls and was converted in 1996 for use as a museum.
