Museum of local history for the city and district of Neudek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The local history museum for the city and district of Neudek in Augsburg deals with the traditions and history of the Germans expelled from the now Czech city ​​of Nejdek (German Neudek ) after the Second World War .

history

After the then independent Markt Göggingen took over the sponsorship of all Germans expelled from the city and the district of Neudek in 1954, they founded a local history collection in the same year, which was housed in the former Jahn school.

After Göggingen's incorporation into Augsburg as part of the regional reform of 1972 , Fuggerstadt also took over the sponsorship of the city and district of Neudek and in 1984 made new rooms in the Schubert school available for the holdings of the collection, which had grown in the meantime. Here the home group “Glück auf” was able to convert the facility, which until then was only run as a “home parlor”, into a local museum .

exhibition

At the Museum of displaced persons from the region Neudek are seen over 3,000 memorabilia - including costumes and uniforms , household items , religious folk art and objects of craft and industry . The exhibition places particular emphasis on bobbin lace and implements as well as glass and porcelain products .

In addition, a large stock of archival material (including around 600 certificates and documents, maps and local plans) and an image archive with around 5,500 photographs, 1,000 slides and some films and tapes provide an insight into the life of the German citizens of Neudek from 1880 until their expulsion after the Second World War.

Library

The local history museum has its own library with around 650 volumes of literature on local history and local history about the city and the district of Neudek.
