In the exhibition entitled "Untroubled childhood", which opens on Thursday, December 13, at 7 p.m. in the museum, these memorabilia will now be shown in a special presentation.

Over the past few months, the museum has received a whole series of historical toys that are worth presenting in this special exhibition, which runs until Sunday, February 17, before they are transferred to the permanent exhibition.

All facets of the playful world of children are represented. From wooden building sets from the turn of the century that "emigrated" to Great Britain, to a large doll's kitchen that was created in the wood workshop of a porcelain factory in the 1960s, to a locomotive made of wood around 1944 with a matching passenger car. Visitors are given a glimpse into the history of play in the 19th and 20th centuries.

But not only the toys are on display. Statements by some famous contemporary witnesses such as Vicki Baum, Elias Canetti, Max von der Grün and Helene Lange, to name but a few, complete the colorful facets of the exhibition.

The exhibition will be opened on December 13 at 7 p.m. by city councillor Eric Neiseke and can be seen during the usual opening hours on the upper floor of the museum's cowshed.
