The "Crown Jewels"
On the first floor of the Museum im Zeughaus you will find the so-called "crown jewels" of the city, which exemplify the history of Wittenberg. Included, for example, is a "giant rib" from the relic collection of Frederick the Wise. You can also take a closer look at the Lord Mayor's chain of office. The centerpiece of the crown jewels and the real highlight of the exhibition is the miniature view, built with great attention to detail, showing the city in 1873. Try to find the subtle differences to today's Wittenberg on the 20 square meter model.
Wittenberg through the centuries
On the second floor of the Museum of City History you will find the permanent exhibition "Wittenberg through the Centuries". Experience the history of the city up close with over 400 original exhibits. Travel back to the time before there was a real town in the area and experience the changes through the Middle Ages and early modern times to the here and now. A little tip: In addition to the exhibits in the Museum of City History, you can also find exciting information about the very early history of the region around the Ascanians in the Historical City Information Center in the City Hall.
Julius Riemer Collection
On the second floor, you can admire numerous exhibits by the well-known collector Julius Riemer in the permanent exhibition Riemer's World. Discover exhibits from all over the world, with a focus on Africa and Oceania, in the only permanent ethnological exhibition in Saxony-Anhalt. The natural history section is also well worth seeing, with not only primates and reptiles on display, but also the skeleton of a great auk.
