The Markneukirchen Musical Instrument Museum in the Musikwinkel in the Saxon Vogtland is a musical instrument museum that shows musical instrument making from the 17th century to the present day.
history
The museum was founded in 1883 as the Vogtland , later the municipal trade museum , by the teacher and organist Paul Otto Apian-Bennewitz . During this time, orchestral instrument making flourished due to trade in many European countries and especially in the United States of America . The founder of the museum intended to create a training facility for local musical instrument makers, which would also accommodate musical instruments from all over the world. Over 6500 instruments from all continents are part of the collection, of which around 1400 are represented in the permanent exhibition. Local instrument makers shape the collection; many of the instruments are donations from local instrument makers or their descendants. Numerous unique items and curiosities enliven the collection.
Since it opened, the exhibition, which is housed in a late baroque residential building - the Paulus Schlössel - and the Gerber-Hans-Haus opposite , has had well over three million visitors.
The museum complex
The museum includes the Gerber-Hans-Haus with the tourist office, museum ticket office and 2 historical workshops as well as the giant violin and giant tuba, the historical sawmill with city history and special exhibition, the Paulus Schlössel with the musical instrument museum and the world music garden.

Instrument making in Vogtland
The manufacture of musical instruments was brought to the Saxon Vogtland by twelve Bohemian violin makers from Graslitz . In 1677 they founded the first German violin makers' guild in Markneukirchen. As early as 1800 all orchestral instruments were made in the former agricultural town. Even today, woodwind, brass, bowed and plucked instruments as well as bows and accessories are manufactured in over 100 workshops and some medium-sized companies. The production of harmonica , accordions , accordions , concertinas and bandoneons is typical for neighboring Klingenthal .
