Erinnerungsort Badehaus, Historical museum in Wolfratshausen, Germany.
Erinnerungsort Badehaus is a museum in a former public bathhouse in Wolfratshausen, Bavaria. The building spans several floors, each holding multimedia installations, personal objects, and written testimonies about the fate of displaced people after 1945.
The building was erected in 1940 as a public bathhouse and after the war served displaced persons as a washing facility. In 2018 it was turned into a memorial museum dedicated to those experiences.
The name translates roughly as 'place of remembrance' and refers to people who lost their homes after the Second World War. Personal objects and handwritten documents on display throughout the rooms give individual faces to these stories.
The museum is open on weekends during afternoon hours, and group visits can be arranged at other times. Plan enough time to walk through all the floors, as the exhibition fills the whole building.
The museum runs entirely on volunteer work, with community members investing thousands of hours to build and maintain the exhibitions. Without this effort, many of the personal stories on display would have been lost.
