The Stadtmuseum Berlin Foundation (State Museum for Culture and History Berlin) operates several regional and historical museums in Berlin . The Public Law Foundation was established by state law on June 23, 1995 and gathers public and private museums on urban and cultural history under one roof.
Museums
The following museums belong to the foundation:
- Märkisches Museum
- Ephraim Palace Museum
- Nikolaikirche Museum
- Knoblauchhaus museum
- Museum village Düppel
- The Berlin exhibition in the Humboldt Forum (expected from 2019)
As a department of the Berlin Museum, the Jewish Museum Berlin was a founding component of the Stadtmuseum Berlin Foundation, but was transferred to a federal foundation when the permanent exhibition opened in 2001.
The Marzahn Village Museum for hairdressing and handicrafts, which was closed in 2005 , also belonged to the foundation . Most of its holdings are stored in the depots of the city museum. Individual pieces, such as the two Van de Velde hairdressing stations owned by the court barber Haby, are on display in the Märkisches Museum.
The largest part of the 4.5 million objects in the city museum has been kept in the central depot in the Poelzig-Halle in Hakenfelde since 2010 . The electronic inventory of the objects using the web-based museum management system robotron * Daphne was also started in 2010, and this should be completed by 2020. The complete digitization of the sometimes unique cultural assets is important far beyond the Berlin City Museum.
The Märkisches Museum and the marine house opposite were to form the central location of the Stadtmuseum Berlin Foundation from 2016. For this purpose, other locations such as the Galgenhaus and the Nicolaihaus as well as the locations of the Natural Science Collection and the Childhood and Youth Collection were given up in advance . However, the preparations for the complete renovation of the marine house were initially discontinued because an extension was no longer planned there, but on the Tempelhofer Feld. But after the Berliners decided that the city was not allowed to build on the disused Tempelhof Airport, the naval house as an extension came up again.
Acting director Paul Spies of the Stadtmuseum Berlin announced in one of his first press releases that he had been promised 65 million euros for the renovation of the Märkisches Museum and the marine house. Together, both houses form the heart of the future museum and creative quarter at Köllnischer Park. In the Märkisches Museum exhibitions are shown, which are supplemented in the Marinehaus with offers of mediation, participation and cooperation. Work on the Märkisches Museum should begin in 2020 and be completed in 2025. There is still no schedule for the naval house.
From 2019, an exhibition in the Humboldt Forum will also be dedicated to the exchange between Berlin and the world.
