Museum Villa Stahmer, Heritage museum in Oesede, Germany
Museum Villa Stahmer is a two-story residence featuring regional timber-frame construction, especially visible in its gable and tower sections. The house contains period rooms and reconstructed craft workshops that demonstrate the lives and work of people in the region.
The building was constructed in 1900 as a private home for industrialist Robert Stahmer and later housed technical directors of local companies. The structure was eventually converted into a museum to preserve local industrial heritage.
The exhibits showcase working craft spaces such as a bakery, bookbindery, and printing workshop that reveal how artisans practiced their trades in the late 1800s. Visitors can observe the tools and techniques these craftspeople relied on daily.
The upper floor regularly features temporary exhibitions and hosts concerts within its historic rooms. School groups can join guided programs that focus on local industrial heritage and traditional crafts.
The villa's bathroom features an oriental design from 1900 that reveals how wealthy families expressed exotic tastes in their private spaces. This preserved room offers rare insight into the personal choices of the industrial elite.
