Herrenwyk history workshop

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herrenwyk history workshop

The Herrenwyk history workshop in the former department store of Hochofenwerk Lübeck AG in Lübeck- Herrenwyk documents the work in the blast furnace and the life of the workers in the factory colony, with a focus on the 1920s and 1930s as well as the rise and fall of the Flender shipyard . The history workshop researches and presents Lübeck's industrial and working-class culture as a whole. The museum is managed by the Hanseatic City of Lübeck Cultural Foundation . The history of the museum began with an exhibition in 1983 by the former Museum for Art and Cultural History of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The great success of the exhibition on Lübeck's working-class culture meant that the department store has since been operated as a museum with permanent and special exhibitions. The museum has been run by Dr. Bettina Braunmüller, modern archaeologist and folklorist.

Permanent collection

There is documentation on the living conditions of the workers, on political currents, club history, a shop , a forge with tools that is actively used for certain events, and a steam forge hammer, the production of submarine parts and one-man U. -Boating at the Flender works.

Research forced labor

In a separate room, the industrial plants in Lübeck that employed forced laborers in World War II are shown on one map, and the forced labor camps on another map. In addition, documents on the individual fates of some forced laborers can be viewed in a loose-leaf collection. Relatives of forced laborers in and around Lübeck also look for traces of their relatives there.
