The Hanfmuseum Berlin (spelling: Hanf Museum ) was opened on December 6, 1994 in Berlin's Nikolaiviertel . It is the only museum in Germany that houses a permanent exhibition on the hemp plant . The museum also actively promotes the protection of children and young people and offers individually tailored tours through the exhibition with support staff. It serves as a meeting point for the organizers of the Hanfparade . The Hemp Museum regularly takes part in the Long Night of the Museums , the Berlin Fairytale Days and the Historale taking place in the Nikolaiviertel. In 2017, the Hanf Museum took part as a self-organized event at the Kirchentag in Berlin on the subject of the drug war with speakers from those affected from South America, including Reverend Martin Diaz from El Salvador.
exhibition
The exhibition extends to around 250 m² and shows everything to do with the cultivated plant . Starting with the general presentation, in addition to the growth and cultivation, the harvest and processing of hemp is described from a historical perspective. Furthermore, the numerous possible uses and consumer products are presented. The importance of hemp for different cultures around the world and also as a drug is highlighted. An example of Berlin drug users is Wolfgang Neuss , who was known to many not only as a cabaret artist , but also as a free spirit , vicious lateral thinker and convinced user of cannabis as an intoxicant . Special exhibitions, such as cannabis as a medical law of February 19, 2017, complement the current status.
The exhibition also documents the prohibition history of THC- containing hemp.
Selected artists can present their works in the basement. There is an opportunity to linger, watch films and talk to each other.
Publications
The association publishes its own publications. The club magazine Hanf Forum appeared as the first publication in 1994 . A chronicle was published as a commemorative publication on the 20th anniversary of the Hemp Museum on December 6, 2014.
research
The Hemp Museum conducts research and publishes it. A scientific discussion took place, for example, on the Germania painting from 1848.
In 2009 the Hemp Museum, together with partners, carried out a labyrinth in the hemp field in Berlin, which was open to the public and a. was attended by school classes.
In 2015 a cooperation was carried out to improve the hemp harvest. The aim was not only to harvest hemp fibers or hemp seeds, but both products from one field. The previous developments in harvesting techniques could not achieve this. The project has been carried out successfully.
In cooperation with the Museumsdorf Düppel , a hemp field based on a historical model was created in 2018. Archaeological research in the museum village proved that hemp was also grown there. This historical model should now be used as a model for a medieval cultivation and processing of hemp. For this purpose, further information boards were drawn up and presented.
