Cohn-Scheune and its collection

Cohn-Scheune
Source

The Cohn-Scheune, located in Rotenburg (Wümme), Lower Saxony, is a cultural history museum that provides insights into the history of Judaism in the Rotenburg and Elbe-Weser area. The museum is housed in a small, two-story half-timbered building that is approximately 180 years old. The building was originally a workshop and not a barn, as the name might suggest. The museum was made possible through the support of the Cohn-Scheune Association and numerous donations.

Exhibition at the Cohn-Scheune Museum

The exhibition at the Cohn-Scheune Museum, which was designed and curated by historian Manfred Wichmann, is divided into two sections located on the ground and upper floors. The ground floor features a permanent exhibition on Jewish life in Rotenburg, showcasing the history of Jewish residents in the region since the mid-18th century. The upper floor houses a seminar room with an introduction to Judaism, providing insights into Jewish culture and religion.
