East Prussian Regional Museum

The East Prussian Regional Museum is a building in Lüneburg dedicated to the history of East Prussia, with exhibition rooms containing documents, artworks, and objects that portray life in the region. The collection also includes a department focused on Baltic German culture and its influence on the area's development.

The museum was founded as an institution in 1987 and built in part on a collection started by forester Hans Loeffke. This combination links private passion for local history with institutional knowledge about the region.

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 is located on Ritterstraße and opens Tuesday through Sunday for visitors. Access is designed without barriers, making it reachable for people with different mobility needs.

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.
