The Museum im Ritterhaus showcases more than 9,000 exhibits that cover history, heritage, nature and art. The collection does not only mirror the changing interest of the museum but invites you to find out about the political and cultural relations of the past 100 years. One of the central interests of the museum is to extend this collection and open it for the public. Visitors can find a multifaceted permanent exhibition, interesting special exhibitions, presentations, guided tours and a pedagogic programme for children that covers more than 70 courses.
