Stadtmuseum Erfurt "Haus zum Stockfisch"
In the location's words:
The city museum "Haus zum Stockfisch" is a treasure trove full of stories that can be found in a historic woad merchant's house dating back to 1607 and spans 1275 years of the city's history.
The first floor of the city museum is dedicated to the "Foolish Years" before the Reformation, a significant time in Erfurt's and European history. Valuable artifacts from the Middle Ages are on display here, illustrating life in the citizenry and city council leadership as well as the conflict-ridden aspects of a community shaped by religious influences. The museum's educational workshop offers creative programs for all age groups to relive everyday life in times gone by.
The second floor of the city museum shows a comprehensive special exhibition on the urban and social changes in Erfurt.
On the 2nd floor of the city museum, the history of urban development is presented on the basis of urban development plans for Erfurt's city center. Here, the tensions between progress and the preservation of the historic cityscape are highlighted, which manifested themselves in concrete building projects in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exhibition "Model City Center" presents corresponding planning drawings and urban models.
In the historic vaulted cellar of the city museum, changing special exhibitions are regularly presented that deal with fascinating questions about Erfurt's history.
