Description
The Museum der 50er Jahre is housed in a former US Army chapel building offering approximately 500 square meters of exhibition space. Inside are thousands of everyday items that document daily life in the early postwar period.
History
The collection was assembled beginning in 1984 by historian Kerstin von Freytag Löringhoff and initially displayed in Cuxhaven. The museum opened to the public at this location in 2000.
Culture

Practical
The museum is located near the harbor on the grounds of the former Carl-Schurz military base and operates with volunteer staff. Opening hours are limited, so checking availability before visiting is recommended.
