Camburg Town Museum, former Administration Building @museum.de

The site of the town’s oldest settlement area is now occupied by the museum, which is housed in the old Amtshaus, the administration building. Camburg’s coat of arms, featuring "Saint Lawrence", now welcomes visitors to the museum.

In 1910, a senior teacher called Eduard Türk established a "collection and store of objects of major significance for local village history”. The collection grew and expanded, and now includes numerous exhibits: from prehistory and early history, through the Middle Ages, to the craft workshops of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Here, you’ll find a complete wheelwright's workshop, a cooperage, a shoemaker’s workshop, a bookbinder’s, a fully furnished chemist's shop, old prison cells and many other exhibits.

And do you know what people in the 1890s meant when they talked about a "Polyphon"?

If not, we’ll let you in on the secret here at Camburg Town Museum!
