Museumsinsel Lüttenheid

Museumsinsel Lüttenheid is a museum complex in Heide featuring several historic buildings that present regional history and daily life. The site includes the Old Smithy, Stade House, and Horse Stable, each displaying different aspects of how people lived and worked in this area.

The museum complex was established in 2004 and uses historic buildings to document Heide's development since its founding in 1434. It also records the period of the Dithmarscher Farmers Republic, an important chapter in the area's past.

The Klaus Groth section displays personal documents and handwritten works from the acclaimed Low German poet within an 1796 building. Visitors can observe how this regional writer's literary legacy is preserved through original materials and period furnishings.

The site is accessible on foot with pathways connecting the various buildings, making it easy to explore all sections. It helps to allow time for a leisurely walk through each building to fully experience the exhibitions and period details.

The smithy building contains fully preserved shoemaking and carpentry workshops where visitors can see the actual workspaces from earlier times. These two craft workshops are particularly rare to find in such complete condition.
