Städtisches Museum Göttingen, Renaissance museum in Göttingen, Germany.

The Städtisches Museum Göttingen occupies the Hardenberger Hof at Ritterplan 7, built in 1592 for the Brunswick chancellor Johann von Jagemann. The steep red tile roof carries three gabled dormers above two half-timbered storeys of dark brown framing with white plaster infill; the ground floor is pale plaster over stone with a tall barred window. A stone wall with two square pillars and a metal gate stands in front, and a small white plaque is mounted near the window.

The Hardenberger Hof was built in 1592 as one of the last remaining Renaissance noble residences, during a time when the city reached a peak of power and wealth. The house and its collections document more than five centuries of Göttingen's transformation from a medieval settlement to a major university city.

The name Hardenberger Hof comes from the von Hardenberg family, whose Stadthof (town residence) the building served from 1619 to 1812; it was built in 1592 for the Brunswick chancellor Johann von Jagemann. Since 1897 it has housed the municipal antiquities collection begun by Germanist Moritz Heyne, and today visitors can see the collection of church art from the 12th to 19th centuries.

The museum stands at Ritterplan 7/8 in the old town, with the garden on the Ritterplan side. Since 2009 large parts of the permanent exhibition have been closed because of structural damage to the Alte Post and Alte Remise timber buildings; a partial renovation ended in 2017. Until the full reopening, only the church art collection from the 12th to 19th centuries, parts of the Hardenberger Hof and the museum garden can be visited.

The museum garden features a relocated historic timber-framed facade from another building, showing how these structures were actually constructed. This preserved fragment allows visitors to examine the region's traditional building techniques up close.
