Amtspforte (Museum)

De officiële poort is een herkenningspunt van Stadthagen en een geslaagd voorbeeld van de ongeveer 500 jaar oude houten architectuur. Oorspronkelijk gebouwd als kantoorgebouw, vanaf 1900 in gebruik als woongebouw, heeft het gebouw ongeveer 50 jaar het stadsmuseum gehuisvest.Het toont stedelijke en regionale geschiedenis op drie niveaus. Kenmerkend is hier het samenspel van historische architectuur en hedendaagse museuminrichting.Het museum bevindt zich in de directe omgeving van enerzijds een van de grootste en oudste Weserrenaissancekastelen en het kasteelpark enerzijds en het begin van de voetgangerszone anderzijds.

The historic Amtspforte was built in 1553. For more than three centuries it was the administrative, judicial and prison building of the Amt Stadthagen. The building offers in splendid splendor a magnificent wooden architecture on the fillings and stands. 23 splendid jet rosettes adorn the gable sides, and the ship's vaults filled with rows of pearls and ribbons are wonderful.
Above the door there is a nettle coat of arms with an inscription and a doorway framed by ornate arches around the ornately carved arch: "ANNO DNI 1553 H S H D HG".
A lot of puzzles have been puzzled over these letters, they could mean: "H (anc) S (aluti) H (ominum) D (omum) H (abeat) G (ubernator)" May this house be the bailiff for the benefit of Residents are available. " Perhaps also quite simple: "H (inrick) S (chrader) H (at) D (it) H (ut) G (ebuwet)." or even easier: "Lord graciously protect this house".
Since 1963, the half-timbered building, a landmark of the city, houses the museum. After extensive renovation work begun in 1987, the newly conceptualized Museum Amtspforte was opened in 1992.
The exhibition collections are spread over three floors and present three exhibition focuses, namely the history of the city, from the founding of the city to the development of Stadthagen into a spa, agricultural, commercial and industrial city, the city governing economic life in the 19th and 20th centuries as well as in connection with the office Stadthagen peasant living and sacral clothes of the Schaumburger costumes.
The violin making workshop, founded in the second half of the 19th century, was known far beyond the Schaumburg region. With careful manual work without the use of even one machine, the workshop was operated until the 80s of the last century.
The costly costumes from Schaumburg Land are presented to the visitor in detail. It took nine years of concrete collecting until the highlight of the exhibition, a Schaumburg-Lippe double wedding train with costumes from the Bückeburg country and Lindhorster space, could be realized in the showcase on the ground floor.
