history

History of the Heider Heimatmuseum and the Museum Island Lüttenheid

Entrance area of ​​the local history museum in the old smithy

The Heider Heimatmuseum was founded in 1904 by the Heider trade association. Initially, the archeological collection, which was made up of foundations from Heid citizens, was housed in a room in the school on Lüttenheid. The growth of the collection made several relocations necessary over time. In 1925, the city of Heide took over the collection of the trade association, which moved to the school building of the agricultural school on the Österweide. At a meeting of the working groups of local museums, which took place in Kiel in 1933, the decision was made that Heide should take over the research and presentation of the natural and prehistory of the whole of Dithmarschen. The sponsorship of the Museum for Dithmarscher Prehistory was transferred to the city of Heide and the districts of Norder- and Süderdithmarschen. In 1967/68 the local history museum and the museum for Dithmarscher prehistory and early history moved into the building of the former state central bank in Brahmsstrasse near the water tower, which was acquired by the city . The Heid painter Nicolaus Bachmann and a Naugardstube, which was supposed to commemorate the sponsorship with the city of Naugard since 1963, were also discussed there. At the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 80s, the Museum of Dithmarsch Pre- and Early History and the Heider Heimatmuseum were expanded, including the establishment of workshops for old Heider handicrafts.

The Dithmarscher Prehistory Collection moved to Albersdorf in 2003. In 2005 the museum was named Museum for Archeology and Ecology Dithmarschen . After a six-year planning and construction phase, the local history museum was relocated to Lüttenheid, the former artisan and petty bourgeois quarter of Heides, in spring 2004. Since then, the site has been made accessible to the public bit by bit in several construction phases. The last unused building on the site is also to be integrated into the museum complex in the near future.

The exhibition was housed in a completely renovated forge building from 1905, which also houses a large event room for special exhibitions and cultural events on the upper floor. In this building, mainly the beginnings of Heide in the early modern period are documented with the help of numerous original objects. Another part of the permanent exhibition is shown in the old horse stable, built in 1925, which was ready for occupancy and has been in use since 2001 and which belonged to the forge. There, the theme of the old Heider handicraft is illustrated using several replicated workshops. In September 2011 the town house adjacent to the forge was opened. By including the house of the August Stades family, the permanent exhibition about the history of Heide could be expanded to include additional epochs, especially the 19th and 20th centuries.

Shortly after the inauguration of the Stadehaus and a magazine building, the Prienhaus on Lüttenheid was also opened. The Naugard home office moved in there, which was closed in 2019.

Klaus Groth Museum

The Klaus Groth Museum is housed in the birth house of the Low German poet Klaus Groth . The house is located in the former Lüttenheid craftsmen's quarter in Heide. It was built in 1796 by Groth's grandfather Claus Reimer Groth after the original house and stable burned down on June 17th of the same year. The newly built house is a single-storey, pan-roofed building with a boarded gable .

When Claus Reimer Groth married Catharina Margaretha Klehn in 1790, the Grütz mill that her family ran in the house became the property of the Groths. The business was expanded in 1843 by purchasing a nearby windmill.

The house was owned by the family until 1877. After several changes of ownership, the ailing building was saved from demolition thanks to the commitment of numerous cultural institutions and private individuals. This included the then largest German art newspaper “Kunstmarkt” from Munich, the province of Schleswig-Holstein and the district of Norderdithmarschen as well as the city of Heide. Since Klaus Groth's house in Kiel had already been demolished in 1908, efforts were made to at least keep the house where he was born. With the donated sum, the city of Heide was able to buy the house from the then owner Wiebke Catharina Friederike Lehmann for 8,000 Reichsmarks in 1913 and convert it into a museum. After a complete renovation, the Klaus Groth Museum opened on April 25, 1914 for the 95th birthday of Klaus Groth. The first supervisor of the museum was Heinrich "Tibe" Groth until 1924. In order to give the house as much as possible the character it had in Groth's youth, citizens of Heid were invited to donate furniture and books as early as 1912. Thanks to the Heider's interest, the house was fully furnished and Groth's library expanded. Among other things, the literary historian Adolf Bartels was involved in the design of the museum. According to a half-sister of Groth, the original division of the house was adopted, the so-called birth room was reconstructed based on an old drawing by Otto Speckter from 1853.

In 1925/26 the house became the property of the city. Until 1939, the museum remained in the state it was in when it opened.

In the course of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, the museum experienced a steady expansion of its collection, which is particularly true of the library, the core of which still belongs to Klaus Groth. The museum's holdings were expanded in 1932 to include Doris Groth's sheet music collection. The museum pieces were outsourced during the war years and almost all of them came back to the Klaus Groth Museum. In 1948 the collection was expanded again to include objects from Groth's granddaughter. When the Klaus Groth Society was founded in 1949, the museum acquired additional pieces.

The house went through several renovations. In 1951, the top floor was expanded to accommodate the library, which at the time contained around 3,000 volumes. These are now in the Schleswig-Holstein State Library in Kiel, where they can be professionally looked after in terms of conservation. Due to this book load, the roof was damaged in 1965, so that renovation work had to be initiated. Further renovations followed in 1984.

During repair work in 2011, considerable damage to the masonry and the statics was discovered. Since the house was built directly on the ground without a basement or foundation, as was quite common in the 18th century, the wooden floorboards had become damp, the beams rotten and the walls sagged. There was a risk of collapse, so the museum was closed immediately. Due to the already existing monument protection of the house interior, it was necessary to observe the corresponding regulations during the basic renovation. A restorer was called in, who made a recommendation for the color design of the previously white rooms: Some rooms were painted in lime and ocher tones, as these corresponded to the taste of the time around 1850. The front garden in front of the house that was laid out after the opening in 1914 was also removed as this picture did not correspond to the original condition of the miller's house.

The museum could not be reopened for the centenary in 2014 due to delays during the renovation work. Instead, it was reopened on April 24, 2016, after having been redesigned and modernized in addition to the renovation. A multimedia table gives visitors the opportunity to find out more about Klaus Groth's life from the stock of digitized photos and original documents. In addition, listening stations with Low German poems and settings of his poems give an audible insight into Groth's work.

The focus of communication given to the visitor in the Klaus Groth Museum is, in addition to the presentation of the life and work of Klaus Groth, on everyday life and living culture of the 19th century. Characteristic for Lüttenheid were above all the close connection between living and working areas as well as the interlocking of manual and rural life. In addition, the house is a testament to the petty bourgeois architecture of the 18th century.
