history
The sculptor and local researcher Fritz Linder founded the first local museum in Bad Rappenau in 1930 . This museum fell victim to the turmoil of World War II . Today's museum was opened on April 14th, 1989 in the then just renovated Fränkischer Hof , where u. a. the town's public library also moved into new premises. The museum uses rooms in the newly built connecting wing, as well as various cellars under the former residential building.
Approximately two thirds of the museum area is dedicated to the history of the salt pans and baths, which has shaped the economic and social life of the place for around 150 years. The exhibits include various drilling and fishing gear, wooden dyke lines and historical drawings showing the development of the salt works and its technology. The brine conveyor technology is also illustrated by various models. The exhibits also include various archive materials from the early years of the pool operation. The remaining area of the museum is dedicated to archaeological finds from prehistory, including bone finds, remains of clay vessels, devices and tools made of flint and hornblende slate , grave goods from the Latène period and finds from the settlement area of the Roman manors on the Rappenau district.
In 2008 the museum's exhibition was expanded to include a branch in the drilling house at the Rappenau graduation tower .
