Opening of the Oberhavel Regional Museum

Aug 24, 2021

Oberhavel

Closed as the Oberhavel District Museum in September 2018, the museum will reopen as the Oberhavel Regional Museum in August 2021 after extensive renovation and remodelling. Visitors embark on an interactive journey through time that takes them through the region over several centuries, starting in icy times.

We have developed a total of 5 interactive multimedia stations that playfully convey snippets of regional history.

At the terminals, visitors can learn about the history of the museum as well as greet Oberhavel celebrities.

At the "Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge" terminal, a timeline introduces them to the chemist and discoverer, whose discoveries include caffeine, candles made from paraffin and synthetic colours. Visitors can try out his famous professor's blob experiment here.

Terminal "Mausfried" — The oldest resident of the castle, Mausfried von der Havel, lovingly shows the children his home in Oranienburg Castle.

Terminal "Runge": Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge was a chemist and discoverer of, among other things, the professor's blob.
