Museum with German Baltic Section
The East Prussian
State Museum (Ostpreußisches Landesmuseum) has been extensively renovated in recent years and opened its new
permanent exhibition in August 2018. Expanded to more than 2,000 square metres,
many different topics of the fascinating history and culture of East Prussia
and the German Baltic are exhibited.
Beginning with the
first settlers in the area of the former East Prussia, the story follows the
Teutonic Order, the Hanseatic League up to the Second World War, and the fate
of the displaced. The natural area of East Prussia is also described. Explore
Bernstein in the in-house laboratory, peek from the high seat into the vast
forests of the former East Prussia, and get to know the famous Trakehner horses.
In the art section, works by artists such as Lovis Corinth and Käthe Kollwitz
can be admired.
Another highlight is
the newly created German Baltic section, which for the first time prepares the
history of the German minority in the Baltic States and presents outstanding
objects. Look forward to a lively and versatile exhibition!
