The Museum Bünde is a museum association in the East Westphalian city of Bünde . It includes the District Home Museum , the German Tobacco and Cigar Museum and the Doberg Museum - Geological Museum Ostwestfalen-Lippe .
Facilities
The Doberg Museum shows finds from Doberg , which belongs to the city of Bünde , mainly fossils from the Oligocene . The best-known exhibit is a manatee from this period.
The German Tobacco and Cigar Museum shows the products and working methods of the cigar industry . The Ravensberger Land and especially Bünde was one of the centers of the worldwide tobacco processing. The museum is therefore a local history museum , which shows the working conditions and importance of the local tobacco industry in the 20th and 19th centuries. The best-known exhibit is supposedly the largest cigar in the world.
The District Home Museum is a local history museum for the Herford district . Particular emphasis is placed on the living and working situation in the Ravensberger Land . A well-known showroom is a fully preserved and originally furnished shop from the 19th century.
Location
The Museum Bünde is located on the so-called Museum Island on Museum Square. The Museum Island is an ensemble of several half-timbered houses and the Doberg Museum, newly built in 1999 in concrete-glass-steel construction. The following buildings make up the Museum Island:
- Striedickscher Hof: The half-timbered courtyard was built in 1830 by Johann Friedrich Striedieck and has been the location of all three sub-areas of the Museum Bünde since 1937, and since 1988 the main area of the District Home Museum and the Tobacco Museum. Thematically appropriate, the Striediecksche Hof was the seat of the Striedieck & Martin cigar factory before it was used as a museum.
- Spieker: the small half-timbered Spieker was built in 1797. It has been at this location since 1974 and contains a special area of the district home museum for flax processing and linen production .
- Hurlbrinksches Haus: The half-timbered house is a former craftsman and arable citizen's house . It has been on Museum Island since 1979. The local exhibition of the Kreisheimatmuseum shows life and work at the turn of the 19th century. The house was built in 1688 at the latest.
- Dammhaus: This half-timbered barn is the oldest building in the Bund. It dates from 1595. It has been on Museum Island since 1975. It was originally in Bustedt . The Museum Bünde uses the house as an event location. In addition, weddings take place in the Dammhaus.
- Kötterhaus . The small half-timbered cottage from 1737 initially served as a caretaker's apartment.
The tobacco museum's red brick tobacco store near the train station is the branch and primarily the store of the tobacco museum. It is the only tobacco store left in Westphalia that still serves its original purpose. The red brick building was built in 1896 by the Bremen cigar company Leopold, Engelhard & Biermann. In 1930, the tobacco store was initially obsolete and was sold to the Reichsbahn. Today it is used again as a tobacco warehouse for the André cigar factory .
In the museum garden there is a typical Westphalian farm garden , a free-standing farm bell and arches richly decorated with carvings and paintings , which were formerly the entrance to farmhouses in the Ravensberger Land .
history
In 1905 one of his pupils made the Graubünden teacher Friedrich Langewiesche aware of fossil finds in Doberg . At that time the Doberg was used for marl mining. From 1907 Langewiesche presented his finds at the Bünder Realprogymnasium (building today the Marktgymnasium ). In 1911 Langewiesche discovered one of his most important finds in Doberg: the 93 cm long skull of a toothed whale . In 1912 a worker in Doberg made another discovery: the manatee he found in Doberg is still the most famous exhibit in the collection.
In 1927 Langewiesche, who had been appointed professor since 1909, donated his finds to the city. It initially traded as the "home collection of the city of Bünde". The “stone room”, still housed on the high school floor, was mainly used for teaching purposes. In 1937 the Herford district announced that they wanted to set up a district museum in Bünde. The project was initiated by the Kreisheimatbund. The city of Bünde donated Langewiesche's collection to the district as part of the establishment of the new museum. In addition to the local history exhibits shown in the Striedieckschen Hof and Langewiesche's fossil collection in the district museum, the city set up the German Tobacco and Cigar Museum in one wing of the courtyard.
In contrast to the other areas of the museum in the Striedieckschen Hof, the tobacco museum was borne by the city. The exhibits initially came from the Bünder cigar factories. Langewiesche took over the management of the district museum, which was inaugurated on May 9, 1937 at the same time as the tobacco museum. In 1939 Langewiesche also took over the management of the tobacco museum. It was not until 1951 that the 83-year-old Langewiesche handed over the management of the museums to Karl Paetow , who expanded the museum and had a bell tower built in the garden .
In 1968 Eberhard Pannkoke followed as museum director . Under his direction, the Spieker was restored in 1973 and placed at its current location; In 1976 the Kötterhaus followed, which had already been demolished in 1973 and the Dammhaus was built in its place, the location of which had been Bustedt until then. In 1979 the Hurlbrinksche House was built at today's location. In 1980, a magazine and a cigar stall were set up in the north wing of the Striedieckschen Hof, which was previously occupied by an old-age daycare center . In 1998 Pannkoke gave up the management. He was succeeded by geologist Michael Strauss .
After a long discussion about a separate museum for the fossil finds from Doberg, it was possible in 1998 with the help of a support association , the city, the district, the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation for Nature Conservation, Heritage and Cultural Preservation and the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe a new building will be built for these exhibits, which was named Dobergmuseum after it was spun off from the district museum, which is now known as the district home museum. In an architectural competition was Dieter Quiram selected as the architect. In 1998, the city and the district agreed that the three sub-areas of the Bünde Museum should henceforth be managed in the legal form of an institution similar to that of a company owned by the district. Shortly after moving into the museum, serious construction defects became apparent at the Dobergmuseum. After a lengthy legal dispute between the client and the architect, which ended to the disadvantage of the architect, the renovation of the Doberg Museum could begin in 2009. Most of the building was gutted and rebuilt.
The Dobergmuseum has been open to visitors again since the end of 2011. At the same time as the renovations in the Dobergmuseum, the Striedieckesches Hof, which was still the location for the local history museum and tobacco museum, was closed for extensive renovation. On October 30, 2010, the Striediecksche Hof was reopened with a new permanent exhibition at the German Tobacco and Cigar Museum.
