Museums and exhibitions

Halberstadt ist home to a surprisingly diverse collection of museums that provide plenty of insights into its rich history, allowing visitors to discover origins and understand the present.

Take a trip back in time at "Schräubchen", a museum showcasing middle-class home decor from around 1900, or marvel at the city's prehistoric residents from the dinosaur era and the birds of the world at the Heineanum.

With its pictures, letters and books, the Gleimhaus, one of Germany's oldest literary museums, invites visitors to immerse themselves in the Age of Enlightenment. Anyone interested in chess, the 'game of Kings' and a strong local custom, will love the Chess Museum in the 'chess village' of Ströbeck.

You can also search for traces of Jewish history at the Berend Lehmann Museum, browse through the treasures of the City Museum or discover the secret of Halberstadt's world-famous sausages in the 'Preserved Times' exhibitions!

Whatever you choose to explore, you're sure to be surprised.
