The Herbergsmuseum, located at Bergstraße 15 in Blankenburg (Harz), holds a unique position in Germany as the only museum developed from a historical journeymen's hostel. This makes it a distinctive destination for those interested in history and culture.
Historical Significance of the Herbergsmuseum
The Herbergsmuseum was originally established as a memorial for the President of the GDR Wilhelm Pieck (1876–1960). Pieck spent about a year as a carpenter in Blankenburg and lived in the house that is now the Herbergsmuseum. This historical connection adds a layer of political history to the museum.
