The N'Ostalgiemuseum in Leipzig is a private museum . The name comes from a play on words in which nostalgia in the suitcase word Ostalgie is emphasized again. Over 12,000 exhibits from everyday life in the GDR are shown to visitors. The museum was founded in the city of Brandenburg an der Havel . In the meantime, the museum was Mötzow ( Beetzseeheide ) settled, but moved in 2016 to Leipzig.

history

The museum is based on the private collection of Horst Häger (1937–2011), a former steelworker, which he had been collecting since 1990. In 1998 the tenement house in Brandenburg an der Havel, in whose cellar he had initially housed his collection, was to be demolished. To compensate for this, the municipal housing cooperative provided him with separate rooms in Steinstrasse, which he used for a public exhibition for the first time. In December 1999 the collection was presented to the public.

Horst Häger was supported by his granddaughter Nancy Häger. After the premises became too small for the growing collection, the museum moved from Brandenburg an der Havel to the grounds of the Domstiftsgut Mötzow in 2009 , where a listed former stable building was rented. In 2010 Horst Häger handed over the collection to his granddaughter.

In the summer of 2016, the museum and its operator moved from Mötzow in Brandenburg to Leipzig. It is located at Nikolaistraße 28-32 (in Steibs Hof ), near the Nikolaikirche .

exhibition

Various objects are exhibited in the museum. You can find cars, dolls, records , egg cutters , Christmas pyramids and much more. The museum in Mötzow was open regularly from spring to autumn and only on request in the winter months. Around 4,000 visitors came to the museum every year. At the new Leipzig location, the museum is open Tuesday to Sunday all year round.
