Humberghaus

Humberghaus is a residence built in 1700 in Dingden that now houses a museum. Spread across multiple floors, it displays photographs, documents, and personal belongings that document the daily life and business activities of Jewish families in the region.

The building was erected in 1700 and served for generations as the home of the Humberg family. In 1941, Nazi persecution forced the family to abandon it, marking a turning point for Jewish communities across the region.

The house shows how Jewish merchants lived and worked in rural areas before World War II. The displayed objects tell stories of family life and trade, revealing people who were woven into local society.

Access is mainly possible on Sundays and is best planned in advance. Guided tours can be arranged ahead of time to learn more about the stories contained within.

Descendants of the Humberg family have contributed personal items and memories that bring the place to life. This connection between former residents and today's visitors creates a direct link to the history.
