Ludwig Erhard Center

Ludwig Erhard Center, Economic history museum in Fürth, Germany.

The Ludwig Erhard Center in Fürth combines Erhard's listed birth house with a new building opposite, designed by Reinhard Bauer Architekten of Munich after a 2013 competition. The stacked cubes respond to the street and the neighbouring town hall. The permanent exhibition covers about 1,200 square metres and has over 50 media stations; the birth house shows the family and its textile shop.

The center was inaugurated in May 2018 by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder, and opened on 20 June 2018, the 70th anniversary of the 1948 currency reform. It was initiated by the Ludwig-Erhard-Initiativkreis Fürth, which founded the Ludwig-Erhard-Haus foundation to acquire Erhard's birth house and build the new structure opposite. The 18-million-euro project was funded by the federal government, Bavaria, the city of Fürth and the foundation.

The center's name honours Ludwig Erhard, born in the house next door in 1897; the permanent exhibition begins in his family's former flat and shows photographs and objects from the Erhard textile business, displayed publicly for the first time. A learning supermarket in the new building lets primary-school children practise shopping and handling money.

The museum is located in Fürth and is easily accessible by local transportation or car; checking exact location and parking information before your visit is helpful. The exhibition is designed so that visitors with different interests find understandable content, and families and school groups are welcome.

The permanent exhibition begins in Erhard's former family flat, where photographs and objects from the family and its textile shop are shown to the public for the first time. The new building opposite holds over 50 media stations, including a digital future room with a large projection surface on globalisation, digitalisation, sustainability and demographic change.
