City and Hochstift Museum
The Stadt- und Hochstiftmuseum is an archaeological , cultural and urban history museum in Dillingen on the Danube in Bavaria . In 1986 the museum was opened in the Lower Abbey House acquired by the city, and in 2008 it was expanded to include the former Angerer House.
history
The museum dates back to the the Historical Society Dillingen returned founded "Museum of the City and the Historical Society Dillingen" which in St. John's Chapel of Dillinger castle was opened 1889th At the beginning of the 20th century, the city and the historical association dealt with the planning of a separate building in the former Wittelsbach complex on Kapuzinerstrasse. The Munich architect Gabriel von Seidl , builder of the Bavarian National Museum , created the design for a neo-baroque building typical of this period . The cost estimate for the construction was 40,000 marks. During a visit to Dillingen in 1907, however, the Bavarian minister of education von Wehner refused state subsidies for the project - so the idea died.
In 1910, the museum moved to the former Hofstall barracks on Lammstrasse due to the increasing shortage of space. It stayed here until 1972; then it had to give way to an expansion of the district and city savings bank.
In 1973 the city acquired the former Lower Abbey House for the Museum of the Free State of Bavaria. To this end, the city and the historical association agreed that the city should set up and operate a “city and monastery museum” and that the association would give it its museum property free of charge as a permanent loan to fulfill this task. The building was rebuilt and furnished under the direction of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation.
A partial opening took place in 1981 with the special exhibition “300 Years of the Dillingen Garrison”; In 1986 the last department was completed. The acquisition of the neighboring Angerer House in 2002 created the possibility of a significant expansion of the museum. After a thorough renovation and the accommodation of further departments, this house was opened in 2008. The new rooms are connected directly to the old museum building by means of passageways and stair platforms. In this way they were included in the overall conception of the museum. The museum was also made handicapped accessible by a modern elevator.
The city history department was redesigned and set up. In tours through both houses, diverse impressions can be gained from the Alemannic settlement to the present; the room on escape and displacement after the Second World War has been completed and important people and institutions of the city's history are presented.
The buildings of the former Lower Abbey (Hafenmarkt 11) and the neighboring Angerer-Haus (Hafenmarkt 12) are listed monuments that are on the list of monuments of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .
