Preetz local history museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Preetz local history museum is located in the small town of Preetz in the Plön district in Schleswig-Holstein . It was opened in 1993 on the ground floor of an upper-class house from the 19th century. The building is owned by the city of Preetz. The museum is supported by the “ Heimatverein Preetz und Umgebung eV ”. The history of Preetz from the beginning of the settlement to the present is shown in the five exhibition rooms.

History of the house

In 1733, a small house is mentioned for the first time in the monastery’s debt and pledge records, whose owner is the “Hereditary Lord of Testorf” Diederich Wittmack, who held important positions in Preetz and in the guild. In 1825 Ernst F. Burow is mentioned as the owner of the house. His son, the manufacturer Christian E. Burow, took over the house. After his death in 1924, the house at Mühlenstraße 14 was sold to various owners until it finally became the property of the city. The vestibule, which is still used today as an entrance, was built in 1887, in which a large-scale mural painting was discovered under the wallpaper during the renovation work in 2012.

Collections

Exhibition rooms on the ground floor

  • Archaeological finds from the Pleistocene and Mesolithic , mainly arrowheads and tool parts made of flint . The collection was processed in the 1990s by an archeology student. The Gottorf Castle Museum in Schleswig lends some of the finds and helped document the objects.
  • Ceramics, in particular "Probsteier Keramik" from the period between 1700 and 1830. It is characterized by its magnificent flower and animal motifs. The ceramics were mostly found in the 1980s at the Preetz Kirchsee . There is also an extensive collection of small “Steertpötte” (three-legged pots) and large colored glazed bowls.
  • Silver from the silversmiths of the 17th and 18th centuries, including guild cups. The room itself is decorated with historical stencil painting.
  • Shoemaking . Preetz was known as the "shoemaker town". In 1850, 160 self-employed master shoemakers, 360 journeymen and 160 apprentices (of 4,600 inhabitants) worked in Preetz. Documents from other guilds (bakers and butchers) are also shown.

Extension on the upper floor

When the circus museum moved away in 2011, the upper floor was vacated and renovated for special exhibitions and educational offers.
