Heimatmuseum Varel and its collection
Source
The Vareler Heimatmuseum, located on the Neumarkt, has been a part of the city since 1954. The Neumarkt itself was established in 1755, making it a location with a rich history. This museum is housed in a building that was originally a half-timbered house built around 1677, which received its current facade in the early 19th century.
Range of Exhibits at the Vareler Heimatmuseum
The Vareler Heimatmuseum offers a comprehensive look at Varel's history, with exhibits spanning from prehistoric times to the 19th and 20th centuries.

Future Expansions at the Vareler Heimatmuseum

These include a lecture room, a memorial room for Lothar Meyer, a tin room (reflecting Varel's history as a stronghold of tin casting), a watchmaker's workshop, and a historical children's room. These additions will provide a more immersive and educational experience for visitors.
