The Griesheim Museum is a cultural jewel in the region, dedicated to the preservation and presentation of local history and culture. Located in the heart of the town, the museum is not only a place of education and learning, but also a lively meeting place for the community. ‘Tradition is not the preservation of ashes, but the fuelling of the flame’ …following this guiding principle, the Griesheim Local History Museum wants to “rekindle the fire” and, together with erlebnisplan Deutschland, has ventured into a sustainable reorientation.
Together with the city and the professional view from outside, we took a fresh look at the museum, its activities and its potential in order to create a sustainable meeting and cultural centre that attracts new visitors and consolidates what has always worked well. In an initial participatory process with all interest groups from the town, the region and the museum team, it quickly became clear that the Griesheim Museum is and will remain the home for many people who are interested in the history of the town. The museum also wants to become a place of learning and encounter for new residents, school classes from the town and the neighbourhood. We are delighted with the fascinating positioning of the museum/guide development and look forward to continuing to monitor the museum’s activities.
