Erinnerungsort Badehaus, Historical museum in Wolfratshausen, Germany.
Erinnerungsort Badehaus is a museum housed in a former bathhouse that spans multiple floors with multimedia exhibitions and personal artifacts. The rooms contain documents, objects, and installations that document the lives of displaced persons in the years after 1945.
The building was constructed in 1940 as a public bathhouse and later served displaced persons as a sanitation facility. In 2018 it was converted into a museum dedicated to documenting and remembering these experiences.
The name refers to a place of remembrance where visitors encounter stories of people who lost their homes and had to rebuild their lives. Personal accounts and objects throughout the building show how different groups experienced displacement and survival.
The museum is best visited on weekends when afternoon hours are available, or you can arrange a group visit for a specific time. The exhibition spreads across multiple floors, so allow time to explore the different rooms and displays.
The museum operates entirely through volunteer efforts, with thousands of hours invested by community members to develop and maintain the exhibitions. This work keeps personal stories alive that might otherwise be forgotten.
