Deutsches Pferdemuseum

The German Horse Museum occupies former cavalry barracks buildings near the train station, featuring 1,400 square meters of permanent exhibitions and 230 square meters for special displays.

Founded in the 1920s and established as an independent institution in 1965, the museum originated from a hippological collection started by the Verden Heritage Association around 1930.

The museum presents the evolution of horses from forest-dwelling ancestors to modern sport horses, including exhibitions about horse breeds, equestrian sports, and hunting traditions.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours, educational programs, and access to a specialized library containing horse-related literature from the 16th century.

A stone replica of the famous stallion Tempelhüter stands at the museum entrance since 1974, marking this institution as Germany's oldest horse museum.
