The Hanerau-Hademarschen Local History Museum

Welcome to our museum

which is housed in our old village school from 1884 and on the first floor of a newer annex. Why a “local history” museum in our time, which is characterized more by mobility and flexibility? Besides all the wanderlust - especially among the younger generation - there is also the longing for a “home”, for the “old and familiar”. The museum was founded in 1984 by locals and refugees and displaced persons who had to find a “new home” due to the horrors of World War II. Our museum aims to make our town "familiar" to both long-time residents and newcomers by preserving and bringing to life its history and stories.
