Step back 200 years

The entire house comprises the complete living quarters of a 19th-century town resident, presented as a museum. Three period-furnished rooms (a living room, a dining room, and the owner's study and bedroom), a historically accurate kitchen with numerous household items and a working stove, a cloakroom, and a small inner courtyard for spending time outdoors. The space accommodates up to 15 seated guests and up to 30 standing, making it suitable for a discussion circle and smaller gatherings as well as larger standing receptions. The inner courtyard offers the possibility to spend part of the event outdoors. A distinctive feature of the space is its authentic, electricity-free setting — in the evening candles and period-appropriate lighting create a special and memorable atmosphere for the event. The space is well accessible: wheelchair access and a separate entrance.

A guided tour can be booked as part of the event that provides an overview of a 19th-century burgher's home — a house lived in without electricity. We explain the function and significance of each room visited and take a closer look at some particularly interesting objects. As background, we also discuss the broader lifestyle, history, and mentality of the 19th century. In addition, workshops can be booked, such as "The Burgher Family's Kitchen: Spices and Herbs", "The Enchanted World of Mirrors", and "Life Before Electricity" (candle making).
