The Museum Humpis-Quartier is the cultural and urban history museum of the city of Ravensburg . It is located in the Humpis Quarter, one of the best preserved late medieval residential areas in southern Germany.

history

The Humpis-Quartier is a late medieval residential area in the Upper Town in Ravensburg, between Marktstraße, Humpisstraße and Rossbachstraße. It consists of a total of seven buildings, which are grouped around an inner courtyard.

The oldest building stock in Ravensburg is located on the site. In 2003, during archaeological excavations in the inner courtyard, the remains of a building from around 1050 were found, which came from a small settlement. The origins of the multi-storey high medieval tower houses in the buildings at Marktstrasse 45 and Humpisstrasse 1 go back to the 12th and 13th centuries. Fundamental renovations followed in the 15th century. Numerous Gothic rooms from this period are still preserved today. With its facade, the Marktstrasse 45 building forms the heart of the quarter, which owes its building design and name to the influential Humpis patrician family . They lived in the house at Marktstrasse 45 and two buildings behind it until the beginning of the 16th century. In addition to the Humpis family, the von Neidegg family, who were related by marriage to the Humpis, and then the Reichlin von Meldegg family and the von Burgau family were residents of the quarter.

In the 18th century the former patrician buildings were taken over by craftsmen and used as workshops. There is a tannery and a hat maker's workshop on the area. In addition, a pub was set up. The so-called “Green Hall” on the 1st floor of the Marktstrasse 47 building, designed as an extravagant dining room in the middle of the 19th century, served as a conference venue for several Ravensburg associations. Under the name “Humpishaus”, the building at Marktstrasse 45, whose facade is still adorned with the coat of arms of the Humpis family, was already featured in one of the first Ravensburg city guides from 1866. Despite these numerous expansions, most of the medieval structure was preserved and can therefore be viewed in the museum today.

In the 1980s, the first idea arose to set up a museum for urban history and culture in the Humpis district. To promote this goal, the Museumsgesellschaft Ravensburg eV was founded in 1991. After the last Humpis innkeeper, Heiner König, closed his restaurant in 1992 and the other houses also emptied, the city could take over the quarter. For the approval of the municipal council, several years of monument conservation and structural engineering investigations were necessary. After further planning, the decision for the realization of the Museum Humpis-Quartier followed in January 2005. After a necessary and comprehensive renovation and restoration in accordance with listed buildings, the museum was opened in July 2009 with a large two-day medieval festival. A second expansion phase followed and the permanent exhibition and the so-called cabinets were opened to the public two years later.

The historian and city archivist Andreas Schmauder was in charge of the museum from the opening until the end of 2018 . The museum has been managed by Sabine Mücke since July 2019. Around 459,000 visitors have visited the museum since it opened (as of December 31, 2019).

Museum Humpis Quarter

Permanent exhibition Lebenswelten

House at Marktstrasse 45

The urban cultural history of Ravensburg dating back to the 11th century is presented in around 60 rooms of the museum. The permanent exhibition Ravensburger Lebenswelten is made up of four sections, each with the story of a resident of the quarter as an anchor point

A leather craftsman stands for the Guelph Ravensburg around 1100, in which the beginnings of the city of Ravensburg are laid. With the construction of the Ravensburg on the Veitsberg, the Guelphs laid the foundations for the development of a city.

The patrician world around 1479 is represented by the merchant and mayor Hans Humpis. The long-distance trader was the ruler of the large Ravensburger trading company from 1496 and lived an elaborate and aristocratic lifestyle. The family's representative living area can be viewed in the museum.

The Protestant tanner Johannes Wucherer shows Ravensburg around 1789, which was characterized by the coexistence of Protestants and Catholics, which runs through all areas of life. At that time, Ravensburg was one of the few imperial cities with equal parity in the Holy Roman Empire .

The era of industrialization around 1842 is symbolized by the innkeeper Gottfried Rösch, who welcomes the city's dignitaries in his restaurant. Industrialization meant an economic upswing for Ravensburg. Extensive city extensions changed the cityscape and the establishment of associations shaped the century.

History laboratory

Houses Marktstrasse 47 and 49

In the history laboratory, the more recent history of Ravensburg, from 1870 to the present day, is presented. The focus here is not on a single resident as an example, but different objects each illustrate individual aspects of this time. The multimedia presentation enables a deeper insight into the history of the city and district and also allows new topics to be integrated and presented.

Cabinet exhibitions

In ten cabinet-like rooms in the buildings at Humpisstrasse 1 and 3, four other topics that are important for the history of Ravensburg are dealt with. The Cabinet Die Schwabenkinder deals with the topic of child labor in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibition at close quarters deals with the centuries-long importance of Ravensburg as a textile city . The My Home in Glass cabinet sheds light on the history and significance of the displaced persons for the city of Ravensburg. The Museum Humpis-Quartier has also taken over the holdings of the "East German Home Collection". This makes it one of the first museums in Germany to have such a home collection integrated into their permanent exhibition on the city's history. The importance of Ravensburg at the beginning of the witch persecution in the 1480s and the connection to the notorious work " Hexenhammer " by Heinrich Institoris is discussed in the Hexenwahn room in Ravensburg .

architecture

Houses in Roßbachstrasse

The museum is characterized by its architectural design, which offers contrasts between old buildings and modern architecture. The different buildings tell the centuries-long use of the quarter and thus become an exhibit themselves.

The primary goal in the design was to preserve the various building levels from several eras. One focus was placed on a comprehensive renovation and preservation of the old building fabric in order to ensure permanent security. One difficulty was to connect the different storey levels and heights and to overcome the difference in height between Marktstrasse and Rossbachstrasse, which is 2.5 m. This necessitated a structural and architectural reorganization. The inner courtyard thus became a central and connecting element, as it is accessible from all sides. The various buildings are connected by a glass roof and an arcade made of steel and glass, which is modeled on the historical one made of wood. This gives the inner courtyard its own significance within the building structure, which extends beyond the museum function. A new route and guidance system also offers the greatest possible accessibility, so that the museum is largely barrier-free today.

The Stuttgart office Space 4 was responsible for the architecture and exhibition design.

Museum Society Ravensburg eV

The Museumsgesellschaft Ravensburg eV was founded in 1991 as a support association of a city museum. The association acquired the building at Humpisstrasse 5 under heritable building rights and carried out extensive renovation and renovation work up to the opening in 2003. The so-called "Humpishaus" is looked after by the museum society and mainly serves educational offers for children and young people. There are six museum educational workshops (paper making, writing, printing, textiles, cooking and medieval building). In addition, events (cabaret, music, readings and exhibitions) are offered in the attic (“Humpis stage”) in the summer half-year. Other areas of the museum society are the “storytelling workshop”, the “kitchen folks” and the “Trödel & Antik” shop in Humpisstrasse. The aim of the statutes is to continue to support the entire Museum Quarter, so the income from the “Trödel & Antik” store benefits the Museum Humpis Quarter and special projects and exhibitions. Examples of this are the support for the exhibitions “Up Close”, “The Humpis in Genoa” or “The Humpis in Barcelona”.

Museum district

Together with the Ravensburger Museum, the Ravensburg Economic Museum and the Ravensburg Art Museum, the Museum Humpis-Quartier forms a new “museum quarter” in the middle of Ravensburg's old town from 2009 to 2013, which has around 120,000 visitors annually. As the “Museum Quarter”, the four museums together organize the “Long Night in the Museum Quarter” once a year, where, in addition to numerous guided tours, other programs with events are offered.
