East Prussian Regional Museum, History museum in Lüneburg, Germany.
The East Prussian Regional Museum occupies a red-brick building in Lüneburg whose upper facade carries white metal letters spelling "Ostpreußisches Landesmuseum". Below, tall glass panes in light-coloured vertical frames wrap around a corner, and white lettering on one pane also announces a brewery museum and opening hours Tuesday to Sunday 12-17. Green plants stand in front of the glazing.
The first East Prussian Regional Museum opened in 1921 in Königsberg Castle, uniting three collections under one name. In Lüneburg, forester Hans-Ludwig Loeffke founded a hunting museum in 1958; after a fire, it reopened in 1964 on Salzstraße. Renamed in the early 1980s, it became the East Prussian Regional Museum in a new building in 1987.
The exhibits show the heritage of East Prussia through collections of crafts, religious objects, and personal items that reflect daily life in the region. Visitors can see how people lived, worked, and shaped their communities.
The museum stands on Ritterstraße in Lüneburg, its entrance set behind tall glass panes in light-coloured frames, with green plants in front. The glazing carries the opening hours Di-So 12-17 Uhr and the telephone number 75995-0. Access is barrier-free.
A major part of the collection focuses on Baltic Germans and shows how this group shaped the development of East Prussia. This focus on a specific population makes the museum unusual in its perspective.
