German Salt Museum

Reviewed By Bastianmis - Viborg, Denmark

we went here to learn more about the production of salt In Luneburg. We had the opportunity to go with a German guide or do a audio guided tour with English speaking guide. We choose the last, as our German is not to good. It was very interesting to heat and see all the things in the museum. It was made very interesting. we spent a couple of hours there, and felt well intertained and a little wiser when we left. Will deffinetly recommend to visit this place.

Museum Luneburg

Discover exciting facts about the history of civilization and natural history of the "Hanseatic City Lüneburg", the "Lüneburg Heath" and the region "Elbtalaue". 1300 exhibits, some of them unique, recount stories from the glacial period until the 20th century. The exhibition focuses on the interaction between mankind, culture and nature. Its significance goes far beyond the local area: experience the monumental replica of the "Ebstorf map" of the 13th century, a "folding table" from the ducal castle "Kalkberg" which is seven meters long, including the "Lüneburg Diamonds" called "Boracit" and "Lüneburgit" as documents of an extraordinary cultural landscape. With its quiet relaxed atmosphere, the Museum is in inviting place to rest and linger. Enjoy a cup of coffee from our local coffee roaster "Ratzsch" and a small snack done by our own café at the sunny terrace next to the "Ilmenau" overlooking the city silhouette.
