The Steinhorst school museum is located in the heather village of Steinhorst in the Gifhorn district in Lower Saxony and is part of the Gifhorn district museums and thus the Gifhorn district's educational and cultural gGmbH.

About the museum

The Steinhorst School Museum is located in the ensemble of buildings on Schmiedeberg. The three-part courtyard complex includes the main museum building (a restored half-timbered farmhouse from the 17th century), the "old smithy" (a smaller half-timbered outbuilding built in 1822) and the Erich Less House. This was named after the Steinhorst-born teacher and didactician Erich Less . It is a new building instead of the barn that no longer exists. It was designed as a conference center and offers space for events and special exhibitions of the school museum and the friends' association.

The school museum's permanent exhibition is located in the main building. On the one hand, it includes a classroom from around 1900 that is true to the original. All furnishings are original. The classroom is accessible and can be "tried out" by visitors. It is also used for educational museum events with school classes. The permanent exhibition also shows aspects of the history of schools and education in Germany. The oldest object is a medieval stylus from the "Harz Group" from around 1200.

Every year changing special exhibitions are devoted to various topics from the fields of school and childhood history.

Since 1994, the Steinhorst Reading Summer with a series of cultural events has been held annually in the Steinhorst School Museum and the Erich Less House, especially in July and August.
