The Haldensleben Museum in the town of Haldensleben was founded in 1910 and is a regional museum with a focus on the cultural history of the Haldensleben region and the cultural history of the Biedermeier period. It includes branches in Hundisburg ( Loock Collection and the Hundisburg School Museum ) and is part of the Ohrekreis Museum Association and the Ecomusées Haldensleben-Hundisburg .
History of the museum
The main part of the museum is located in a building on the inner-city Haldensleber Straße Breiter Gang, which was originally built and used as a schoolhouse. The late classical object consists of two floors and was completed in 1866. Initially, a hospital for wounded people from the Austro-Prussian war was set up here, but after a few months the house was handed over to its purpose as a school.
From 1910, a museum was also housed here - initially only in two classrooms. The exhibits shown there came from collections of the local history association Aller and the school itself. During the Second World War the collection was completely stored and partially damaged. In 1953, the former school building was completely turned into a museum and passed from the previously responsible city administration to the sponsorship of the Haldensleben district. The interior structure of the building remained unchanged, and thematic exhibitions can now be found in the former classrooms. In 1980 and 1988, the museum was expanded to include smaller, adjacent house units.
The foundation of the museum (initially: Heimatmuseum ) was initiated by Fritz Wiegers . The first two museum directors were Willi Koch and Hans Wieprecht; they still worked voluntarily. Bruno Weber was the first employed museum director. He headed the museum from 1960 to 1976. He was followed by Sieglinde Bandoly (initially acting). Her successor as museum director was Ulrich Hauer since 1997 , who handed over the reins to Judith Vater in 2017.
Permanent exhibition
The museum presents the cultural history of the Haldensleben region on the basis of selected subject areas as a permanent exhibition. In addition to archaeological finds that go back to prehistory , medieval and modern aspects are dealt with. An important area is the representation of the way of life and work during the early and industrialization phase of Haldensleben.
Probably the most important painting exhibited in the museum is the "Lucretia" by Lucas Cranach the Elder . The oil painting, painted in Wittenberg in 1519 , belongs to the collection of the royal building inspector Friedrich Loock , most of which can be viewed in the Hundisburger Baroque Palace.
Prehistory and early history
In one of the former classrooms, selected finds from the prehistoric and early historical settlement of the region are exhibited. The most important exhibits are a jade and a copper hatchet. They are ostentatious or prestige axes made from alpine rock or from the oldest known copper discovery site in Southeast Europe (today's Slovakia). The two axes, found in the region, are evidence of the trading activity of earlier residents in the years 5500 to 3000 BC. The jade ax found in the Morsleben district in 1930 was made from a stone quarried around 6000 years ago in quarries in the Italian Alps , near Monte Viso or on the Voltri massif 50 kilometers away.
Riding Roland
The museum is the original of the riding ends Roland of 1528. The statue, presumably from local Keuper - sandstone beaten, was handed over to the museum in the 1927th A replica made of Baden limestone was placed on the original stand in front of the Haldensleber town hall . The Haldensleber riding Roland is one of the most important equestrian statues in Saxony-Anhalt and is the only one on horseback among the 24 surviving Roland monuments in Europe.

Cultural history of the Biedermeier period
The exhibition contrasts urban and rural living culture from the Biedermeier period. A recreated urban (bourgeois) living room of the time with sofa, round table, showcases, chests of drawers and sewing table shows the difference to the neighboring living area of a farmer. Two half-timbered houses attached to the museum also form a small open-air museum of Biedermeier-era city life with a chicken yard and flower garden. The half-timbered houses can be viewed from cellar to floor and illustrate life in craftsmen's houses (here: carpentry and linen weaving) of the time.
Lithograph
An exhibition on Carl August Eyraud is devoted to the development of lithography in the Haldensleber region from 1815 . The exhibition includes a printer's workshop, which sometimes still prints on original equipment with lithographic stones.
The Uffrecht family of manufacturers and artists
The Uffrecht exhibition shows the regional importance of the ceramic entrepreneur family Uffrecht from 1845 to 1945. Family members and their achievements are presented.
Brothers Grimm
Part of the estate of the Brothers Grimm is the focus of the Grimm exhibition in Haldensleben . The exhibits (around 1300 books, furniture, items of clothing, household items and plastics) fill a separate room.
Changing exhibitions
Johann Gottlob Nathusius
A special exhibition with the title Johann Gottlob Nathusius (1760–1835). The 250th birthday of the industrial pioneer in 2010 was the work of Johann Gottlob Nathusius , who ran agricultural and early industrial businesses in and around Haldensleben.
Nathusius Porcelain Factory
On the occasion of the special exhibition for the 250th birthday of Johann Gottlob Nathusius, the Nathusius porcelain factory is exhibited for the first time . Numerous products of the factory (pipe bowls, utensils and decorative dishes, statues) were collected and discussed with the support of the Porcelain Forum Saxony-Anhalt .
Branch offices of the museum
In addition to the partial exhibition of the Loock collection at Hundisburg Castle, the Haldensleber Museum has two other themed museums. In Hundisburg is the School Museum in Haldensleben former Israelite Temple .
Hundisburg School Museum
Around 1704, the Hundisburg lord of the castle, Johann Friedrich von Alvensleben, had a school building built in the village. In addition to the teacher's apartment, the simple half-timbered building consisted of a 30 square meter classroom for the 44 students at the time. Due to the increasing number of pupils, two more school buildings were built by the end of the 19th century. The school room in the old rectorate has also been expanded. The room is preserved in this expanded form. It has historic cross-frame windows, an oiled floorboard and the teacher's desk made in 1887.
When the school museum opened in 1988, little was added and it therefore consists almost entirely of the original school equipment.
The other neighbors' house
The Haldensleber Synagogue was built in 1822 and is located on Steinstrasse. The Jewish community in Haldensleben, which has only existed since 1808, symbolized its willingness to integrate with the building - the building contains Gothic-looking pointed arched windows, which are presumably based on the architecture of the new tower of the Haldensleber Marienkirche . In 1907 the shrinking Jewish community sold the building to a neighbor. The New Apostolic Church Community became a new user.
In 2002 the district of Ohrekreis took over the synagogue and church, which had meanwhile been threatened with vacancy and decay. The cultural monument was incorporated into the Haldensleben Museum. After renovation, the house of the other neighbors was opened in 2007 and today is thematically dedicated to population groups of foreign origin and foreign religions in Haldensleben.

Association affiliations
The Haldensleber Museum was merged with the museum in Wolmirstedt to form the Ohrekreis Museum Association by resolution of the district council of the Ohrekreis district in 1999 . The catchment areas of the museums were not affected by the new organizational structure. The Haldensleben Museum is also part of the Ecomusée Haldensleben-Hundisburg , which connects a microregion in the border area of Magdeburg Börde and Altmark with the historic city center of Haldensleben and the village districts of Althaldensleben and Hundisburg.
