Sudetendeutsches Museum, Cultural heritage museum in Au district, Munich, Germany
The Sudetendeutsches Museum is a five-story museum in Munich that presents the history of German-speaking communities from Bohemia, Moravia, and Sudeten Silesia using multimedia displays. It documents the life and culture of these regions across different time periods.
The museum opened in October 2020 and documents over 1,100 years of German presence in territories that now form part of the Czech Republic. It also addresses the expulsion following World War II and its lasting impact on these communities.
The exhibition shows how Germans, Czechs, and Jews lived together in Bohemian regions through objects, photographs, and interactive displays. Visitors can see the everyday connections and shared history of these different communities.
The collection spans several floors and takes time to explore properly, so plan for an unhurried visit. An audioguide or some advance reading helps you get more from the displays and move through the exhibition at your own pace.
The museum displays the longest motorcycle ever produced by Böhmerland, a striking example of industrial achievement from the Sudeten German community. This unusual machine shows the ingenuity and manufacturing skill of the region.
