The
museum of the town Gardelegen is situated in the building where
we could once find the Löwen-pharmacy .This pharmacy was
equipped in the Biedermeier-style and in the museum you are also
able to find something about the history of this pharmacy. The
museum of the town Gardelegen is also the administrative centre
of the memorial place "Isenschnibber Feldscheune" in
Gardelegen. A few exhibitions share a special national interest: |
- The
museum has an exhibition of technical equipment of the
youngest history of beer-brewery in Gardelegen. In
Gardelegen beer has been brewed for over 700 years.
- The
manufacture of interesting nacre buttons which was to be
found in Gardelegen In the 19th and 20th century, is been
appreciated.
- Since
the end of January 2003 the museum presents a new exhibition:
"Pictures out of the life of Otto Reutter". The
best-known Gardeleger (1870-1931) was the most famous
elocutionist in the German-speaking area. His Couplets are
still very up-to- date and have an unerring punch line. The
museum presents numerous photographies, which show stations
of his life and his unique stage-career . Furthermore a few
very highly interesting and surprising memorabilia of
Reutter are to be seen. The visitor gets the latest
information on Reutter -information on the private citizen
Reutter, which even Reutter-fancier will remark as
sensational. This exhibition is so far the on I y place,
which reminds of Reutter with the help of word and picture.
The museum is also willing to help all those who want to
