Architectural Features of Schulmuseum Steinhorst

The Schulmuseum Steinhorst is housed in a three-part courtyard complex. This includes the main museum building, which is a restored half-timbered farmhouse from the 17th century, the "old forge", a smaller half-timbered outbuilding erected in 1822, and the Erich-Weniger-Haus. Each of these buildings contributes to the overall historical atmosphere of the museum, providing a unique backdrop for the exhibits.

Permanent Exhibition at Schulmuseum Steinhorst

The main building of the Schulmuseum Steinhorst houses the permanent exhibition, which includes an authentically furnished classroom from around 1900. All the furnishings in this classroom are original, providing visitors with a true-to-life glimpse into the past. The classroom is not only accessible to visitors, but they are also encouraged to "try it out" for themselves.
