Today in the museum exhibits from everyday life and folk culture of the Saxon and Bohemian Ore Mountains are presented in German and Czech .

history

The building, erected between 1806 and 1809 on the advice of Bergmeister von Trebra , was initially used as a granary . During the Napoleonic Wars of Liberation , the house was used as a hospital from 1813 to 1814 . From 1858 the military chamber of the Marienberg garrison was located in the building, from 1873 that of the local NCO school. In 1920 the building became the property of the Saxon War Ministry . In the 1920s, the production facilities of the Marienberg vehicle factory MAFA owned by the Sättler brothers and the Alfred Hertel chocolate factory were located here . In 1936 the city of Marienberg auctioned the building for 1700 Reichsmarks . It was handed over to the Wehrmacht as early as 1939 after it had in the meantime housed a glider pilot's school, border guards and a classroom for a Nazi motorcycle squadron.

After the Second World War, emergency shelters for war refugees and displaced persons were set up in the building . The house was also used by the military in the GDR . From 1956 the 7th motorized rifle regiment "Max Roscher" Marienberg of the 7th Panzer Division Dresden was housed here. From 1969 the building was taken over by the VEB Obst Gemüse Tischkartoffeln Marienberg and a fruit store and a banana ripening facility were set up here.

After reunification , the building was transferred back to the city of Marienberg in 1993, which then looked for a possible use for the historic building. In 2002 the renovation and redesign as well as the conception of the museum began. After four years of renovation, the museum was opened at the end of April 2006. Over three million euros were spent on the renovation of the granary, which today also houses the museum and the Marienberg city library and museum, with 1.7 million euros from the INTERREG III A program and 600,000 euros from the urban planning program Monument protection were made available.

Exhibitions

The Marienberg local history museum was housed in the Zschopauer Tor from 1966 to 2006 . Some of the exhibits were relocated to the mountain storage facility in 2006. The exhibition was conceived in cooperation with the museums in Most and Chomutov . The permanent exhibition Erzgebirge - Biography of a Region presents the cultural history of the Ore Mountains on the Saxon and Bohemian sides. In addition, the exhibition shows the development of the city of Marienberg and mining in the Marienberger Revier as well as a collection of mechanical Heimatberge. The permanent exhibition is supplemented by special exhibitions that change several times a year.
