Hans-Christiansen-Haus

The Hans-Christiansen-Haus is a museum and former school building in Flensburg marked by neogothic features, with a red brick facade decorated by detailed sandstone ornaments. Inside, roughly twenty exhibition rooms display regional artworks and historical furniture collections.

Architect Otto Fielitz designed this building in 1896 as a secondary school for the city. During World War II it was converted into a military hospital, then later adapted to serve as a cultural museum.

The building displays paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries that reflect artistic traditions of northern Germany and Schleswig-Holstein. Visitors encounter works that show the tastes and interests of artists from that era.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available through the exhibition halls. The layout is straightforward with rooms arranged in a logical sequence, making it easy to see the collections without confusion.

The so-called Paris Room was originally the school assembly hall and is now used for civil marriage ceremonies. The space preserves its historical furnishings and creates a special setting for celebrations.
