Zinnfigurenklause, History museum in Schwabentor, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

The Zinnfigurenklause museum displays historical events through thirty detailed dioramas across two floors inside a medieval watchtower of Freiburg's city center.

Founded in 1965 by Arthur-Andreas Lehmann, the museum gained its second floor in 1969 when Mayor Eugen Keidel provided additional space in Schwabentor.

The collection features 9000 meticulously crafted tin figures depicting significant regional events from 1386 to 1848, including the German Peasant's War.

The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 14:30 to 17:00, weekends from 12:00 to 14:00, with special hours in May and October.

Each diorama requires constant maintenance as tin figures face deterioration from tin pest, requiring periodic recasting and repainting to preserve historical accuracy.
