Kreiskulturhaus Murchin

Kreiskulturhaus Murchin is a cultural center in Murchin with a T-shaped layout and hipped roof, combining classical architectural elements from the 1950s socialist building period. The structure contains a main hall that once seated around 450 people and spans about 2000 square meters of usable space.

The building was erected between 1952 and 1954 and was the largest cultural palace of a Machine and Tractor Station in the German Democratic Republic. It rose during the early phase of socialist construction, reflecting the goal of bringing culture to rural populations.

The building contains wall paintings depicting German-Hungarian friendship and a relief by Walter Bullert showing agricultural work through the seasons. These artistic works shape the interior and reflect the values placed on craftsmanship and nature.

The building is no longer accessible to visitors as it has stood empty for many years and deteriorates over time. Viewing the exterior allows you to appreciate the characteristic architecture of the socialist construction era.

The abandoned building served as a filming location in 2021 for the German crime television series 'Der Usedom-Krimi: Entführt'. Its dilapidated rooms and crumbling facade provided the ideal setting for the production.
