On January 1, 2007, the sponsorship for the museum was transferred to the city of Neustadt in Holstein, which renamed it the “Museum of the City of Neustadt in Holstein”.

exhibition

The exhibits in the Museum of the City of Neustadt in Holstein mainly deal with the handicrafts and everyday life of the people in the region over time.

For example, some exhibits on the life and tools of people from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age are shown in the area of Neustädter Bucht . Some of the exhibits also deal with the period of Slavic settlement in the Holstein area . Another large part of the exhibition deals with the life of artisans , merchants and farmers in the 19th century. For example, an old dental practice and an old painting workshop are exhibited and you can also visit a complete living room from that period.

Other areas of the exhibition give an insight into the time of the Schleswig-Holstein uprising , into the arts and crafts originating from the Holstein area and the life of the expellees after the end of the Second World War . In addition comes still a small exhibition of fossils and some special unique pieces such as the vocal organ of the last German Bänkelsängers , or an unusually large bride dish dating back to 1700s.
