Museum Eckernförde

Museum Eckernförde occupies the Old Town Hall and displays exhibits about local history, maritime connections, and urban development. Archaeological finds and everyday objects provide insight into different time periods.

The museum was founded in 1975 and initially housed in a school building before moving to its present location in 1987. This relocation allowed for larger and improved displays of the collections.

The museum displays objects that show how people lived and worked in this coastal area over time. Visitors can see how the town and its connection to the Baltic Sea shaped daily life and what role the spa tradition meant for the community.

The museum can be visited on weekdays and weekends, with extended hours available on Sundays. It is advisable to allow enough time to explore the exhibits thoroughly, as they contain many details.

A model railway layout shows train stations as they looked in 1951 and was built by local railway enthusiasts. This handmade model has been part of the permanent exhibition since 2012 and captivates visitors of all ages.
