Museum Weißenfels

The Museum Weißenfels displays regional artifacts and collections within the baroque walls of Neu-Augustusburg Castle, featuring exhibits about local development and traditions.

Founded in 1910 following initiatives by Professor Rudolf Virchow, the museum originated from a society dedicated to natural history and antiquities studies.

The museum holds extensive collections of shoes from East German production, commemorative ribbons, and artistic iron castings that reflect regional industrial heritage.

Visitors can explore nine thematic rooms presenting different aspects of regional history, with guided tours available for detailed insights into the exhibitions.

The institution maintains the largest collection of Vivat ribbons globally, gifted to the museum in 1919, representing 19th-century dedicatory and ceremonial textiles.
