history

The “Pilgrims & Pilgrims” museum was opened in August 2008. The institution was initiated by the art department of the Diocese of Würzburg, in whose district Dettelbach is located. The exhibition was also equipped from the holdings of the diocese. The museum thus forms part of the "Street of the Museums of the Diocese of Würzburg", which, in addition to the Museum at the Cathedral and the Cathedral Treasure in Würzburg, also includes the museums in the former Carthusian monasteries Astheim and Tückelhausen, the Johanniskapelle in Gerolzhofen , Oberschwappach Castle and a few other facilities includes.

Spatially, the house was closely aligned with the so-called culture and communication center (KUK) near the town hall, which also houses the tourist information , the city ​​library and a vinotheque . The name of the museum goes back to the centuries-old pilgrimage tradition of the city. The central objects in the exhibition also refer to the pilgrimage and its impact in material culture .

building

The museum was housed in house Markt 13, the so-called Baumann house, which is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is a two-story saddle roof building with a half-timbered upper floor . The house was marked with the years 1478 and 1536. Its pointed gable and the town hall behind it form an urban ensemble. A modern glass facade was added to the house, in which the tourist information can be found.

In total, there are almost 300 exhibits on 335 square meters in the museum . The prelude is a representation of the Archangel Raphael, who is considered the patron saint of pilgrims. The focus of the exhibition is a wayside shrine from the 18th century, which with a depiction of the Dettelbacher miraculous image refers to the great influence of the pilgrimage to Maria im Sand.
