Sudetendeutsches Haus, Cultural center in Au district, Munich, Germany.
The Sudetendeutsches Haus is a multi-story cultural building in Munich's Au district devoted to preserving and sharing the history of German-speaking populations from Bohemia. Within it, several specialized institutions work together, including foundations, academies, and museums that provide archives, exhibition spaces, and research facilities.
The building was established in 1985 to preserve and make accessible the history of people expelled from or who emigrated from Bohemia. Its creation reflected Munich's commitment to safeguarding this cultural memory for future generations.
The building functions as a meeting place for people with roots in Bohemian lands and those interested in this heritage. Regular events, readings, and exhibitions here showcase the traditions and daily life of these communities.
The building is open for visits from Tuesday to Sunday, though hours may vary depending on exhibitions and events. It is worth checking beforehand which areas are currently accessible, as some research spaces or exhibition rooms may close for special programs.
An attached museum takes visitors on a journey through centuries of German-Bohemian history, presenting everyday objects and personal mementos alongside broader historical context. This collection offers a direct, personal perspective on the life stories of these communities that larger historical narratives often overlook.
