Saalausstellung: Der „Nordmolenturm“ - Historische Fotos, Grafiken und Gemälde

In the organizer's words:

The Molenturm was primarily a functional building. As a beacon, it marked the north side of the confluence of the Geeste and Weser rivers. It was part of the legally prescribed, internationally agreed fairway marking and served the safety of shipping and the seaward movement of goods, the economy. It was also old. Stylistically designed in the moderate modernist style of reform architecture from 1912 to 1914, it was a solidly crafted and visually appealing monument. For generations, it was part of the familiar skyline of the city and was a popular background motif in photography and art.

With a selection of historical photos, graphics and paintings from the municipal collection, the Historical Museum commemorates the small building, whose history is very moving.
