Muzeum im. Hindenburga w Poznaniu, Military history museum in Poznań, Poland
The Hindenburg Museum was an institution that housed military artifacts, documents, and uniforms related to the region's military history and significant events. The collection focused on materials documenting military developments and regional military achievements from that era.
The museum was established in 1916 following the city's decision to grant honorary citizenship to the Prussian field marshal in 1914. This timing reflected the region's military transformation during the early twentieth century.
The museum's establishment sparked debates between German, Jewish, and Polish council members regarding cultural priorities during wartime.
The original location was situated at Marcinkowski Avenue, with plans to move to another address in the city. Visitors should note that the collection's status and location changed significantly over time, so prior research is advisable.
The collection was transferred to the Scientific Section of the Polish Army General Command in 1920 after the institution ceased operations. This transfer preserved important military documents for ongoing research and study in Poznań.
