Ehm Welk and Local Museum, Literary and local museum in Angermünde, Germany

This is a local and literary museum in Angermünde housed in a restored half-timbered building complex dating to the 17th century. It displays around 25,000 objects that document daily life and early history of the Uckermark region.

The museum was founded in 1913 by a local history society to collect and preserve regional heritage. In the 1970s, a memorial section was added to honor a prominent local writer, highlighting the area's literary importance.

The museum's name honors a regional writer whose works were shaped by the rural culture of this area. The exhibition shows how people lived and worked here, making the traditions of the Uckermark visible to visitors.

The museum is easily accessible on foot from central Angermünde in the town center. A visit typically takes 1 to 2 hours depending on how much time you spend exploring the exhibitions.

The building has lived several lives: in the 19th century it served as a hotel, later became a cinema for a time, before becoming a museum. This varied history makes the structure itself a witness to the town's past uses and changes.
