Postbox

Postbox is an exhibition space in Hannover's Döhren-Wülfel district dedicated to postal history and communication. The collection features stamps, historical letters, various mailboxes, and communication devices spanning different time periods and regions.

Hannover's postal history began when the city developed as a major trade center requiring efficient mail networks. The exhibition traces how this system expanded and changed over the following centuries.

The exhibition presents how communication has changed across generations through the eyes of ordinary people. Visitors see old stamps, letters, and postal equipment that reveal how people stayed connected in different eras.

The exhibition is accessible by public transportation, with several postal services nearby within walking distance. Plan enough time to browse the collection at a comfortable pace.

The collection includes letters and postcards that tell stories about personal moments from different decades. These handwritten messages reveal how people communicated in more personal ways before email existed.
