Radeburg Museum of Local History

In the footsteps of Heinrich Zille ...

Heinrich Zille is the most famous man of the city of Radeburg – the painter and graphic artist Heinrich Zille (1858–1929) – the visitor is welcomed in the newly designed rooms of the local museum Radeburg.

The Radeburgers are still lovingly connected to their "BrushHeinrich". In this respect, it is not surprising that a cabinet was dedicated to the famous painter of everyday life in Berlin, Heinrich Zille. Here the interested visitor will find a lot of interesting facts about the artist, also original works are shown. In memory of Zille's drawing art, caricatures are shown in regular special exhibitions and the "Heinrich Zille Caricature Prize" is awarded.
 
The history and present of Radeburg come to life in the city's local history museum. The museum's collection includes 19th-century furniture, historical weapons and evidence of shooting, household and craft items, views of Radeburg and an archaeological collection.

The local history museum Radeburg is located in the townhouse built in 1813, which served as a district court from 1894 to 1952. Located in the historic city centre, not far from the market square, the local history museum is within a short walk from the Lößnitzgrundbahn train station.

In 2017, the building that houses the local history museum was completely renovated. In addition to the exhibition rooms, it was thus possible to set up a fund, special exhibition rooms as well as a room for museum educational work and local research. The city history collections as well as the permanent exhibition on Heinrich Zille have been completely revised and offer an exciting exhibition experience.
