Stadtmuseum Warleberger Hof
Stadtmuseum Warleberger Hof, City museum in Altstadt district, Kiel, Germany.
The Stadtmuseum Warleberger Hof is a three-story building displaying exhibitions on urban development, traditional craftsmanship, and graphic work from earlier centuries. Inside are objects, documents, and collections that record how people lived in Kiel across different periods.
The building was constructed in 1616 as a residence for a duke's official and remained in aristocratic hands for over 200 years. The University of Kiel acquired it in 1839 and later used it for storage before it became a museum.
The museum displays how the city grew and changed through objects and documents from Kiel's past. Visitors can see through the collections how daily life and work evolved among residents over time.
The museum sits in the old town quarter and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that stairs between floors are narrow and viewing all the exhibitions takes a good amount of time.
During renovations from 2009 to 2011, workers discovered wooden beams from 1278 hidden beneath the building. The find revealed that structures had stood on this spot centuries before the current house was built.
