Staffelseemuseum Seehausen

After almost two years of planning and implementation, the new Staffelsee Museum opened its doors to the public on Saturday, January 27.01.2018th, XNUMX.

The museum's themes are diverse. Starting with the cultural history of the region, which dates back to the Bronze Age and begins on the island of Wörth. This is based on findings from excavations that were carried out between 1992 and 1997.

All aspects of the Staffelsee for the region are also discussed; from its origins to flora and fauna to its use for fishing and its history, but also as part of the religious-historical tradition with the nationally important Corpus Christi procession.

Another topic is the art of reverse glass painting as a Europe-wide special topic in art history, which is discussed in detail in the Staffelsee Museum. Seehausen, with the Gege and Noder painting dynasties, was an important “center” of this painting technique.

The flagship of the museum are the changing special exhibitions. In addition to the diversity of the topics, the focus is also on the personalities/artists in the Staffelsee area and beyond who have had a significant impact on the region in particular, but whose work is not taken into account by the “big” museums. The museum is barrier-free.
