Paderborn City Museum
The Paderborn City Museum is a museum in Paderborn that stores and shows documents on the history of the City of Paderborn.
history
From 1977 to 2015 the historical museum of the city of Paderborn was housed under the name "Museum für Stadtgeschichte" in the Adam and Eve House . In March 2015 the museum was closed due to conservation deficiencies and a new building / renovation on the site of the former Abdinghof monastery was decided as part of a reorganization concept of the city museums that had been discussed since 2012 . The architect Tido Brussig developed a plan for this in which he transferred “the city as a grown, complex system to the basic structure of a house”. History should be "symbolically deconstructed and made tangible". The former cloister and the garden of the Abdinghof from 1015-16, which was destroyed in 1945, were integrated into the new building. On October 9, 2017, the complex now known as the Paderborn City Museum was inaugurated.
Stocks
The museum contains numerous models, media and audio stations that bring a bygone cityscape back to life.
The heart of the new city museum is the “collection store ” with five collections: the collection of the regimental association of 15 riders, that of the antiquity club , the Fürstenberg-Ellringhausen collection, the collection of the city of Paderborn and that of the city archeology . Seven typical house types from different epochs are shown under one roof - such as the renaissance portal of the former Hotel Löffelmann, which was last built in an alley between Kamp and Kötterhagen. An outline of the history of Abdinghof Abbey is presented in the cloister.
In the “open foyer”, the city museum is dedicated to topics of the city's present and future. In addition to lectures, concerts and theater performances, current artistic positions and trends are shown in special exhibitions. There are also cultural and historical exhibitions here.
In the “city laboratory” adults, children and young people can become researchers of the city's over 1200-year history. There are regular public tours.
Of the total of around 1,400 exhibits, a good 80 percent had not previously been shown to the public. Some were with the permanent lenders, others in the city depot.
