Since the opening of the new building of the Lützen 1632 Museum at the end of October, over 5,000 people have visited the exhibition. "We are very satisfied with the number of visitors, especially as we started outside the usual season for Lützen with the opening at the end of October," said museum director Manuela Dietz. "Before the closure, in 2022, 4,661 visitors came. This figure has already been exceeded in the first six weeks of the new opening. "The Battle of Lützen on November 6, 1632 was one of the main battles of the Thirty Years' War. The armies of the Protestant Swedish King Gustav II Adolf and the Catholic imperial army under Albrecht von Wallenstein faced each other here.
Museum offers educational programs
Concrete programs are currently being developed for visitors to the Lützen 1632 Museum. Various formats such as readings, panel discussions and workshops are planned. In addition to traditional school excursions with guided tours, project weeks on topics such as the culture of remembrance and working with archaeological finds are also planned. "The museum has a collection that we want to make more accessible in future. This should appeal to interested adults and researchers as well as schoolchildren," said Dietz.
