Altenburg plans museum revolution: lighthouse project for the region!
In Altenburg, a significant realignment of the museum infrastructure is imminent. The master plan for the development of the museums on Altenburger Schlossberg was presented by museum director Roland Krischke, District Administrator Uwe Melzer (CDU) and Mayor André Neumann (CDU). The aim of the plan is to develop the region's cultural heritage into a national goal. Under the title "Prince in the Sleeping Beauty Castle", the master plan includes 100 pages and outlines a future that is supposed to link both education and tourism - a real lighthouse for the region, like Welt reports.
The focus is on the planned "Lindenau Campus", named after the founder of the Lindenau Museum, Bernhard August von Lindenau. This should not only combine the existing museums more, but also create a museum educational landscape. The idea of redirecting the castle and playing card museum for a better understanding is part of the holistic concept. A newly planned city history museum on the castle area, which is based on private collections, is also considered.education and digitization
A central point of the master plan are the planned educational offers for universities, museum associations, schools and the general public. Digital educational offers are also to be integrated in order to reach a wider audience. The district administrator emphasized the use of "Much Herzblut" in this future -oriented planning. Mayor Neumann expressed the wish that visible progress should be recognizable by the State Garden Show 2030. The renovation backlog of the castle is currently estimated at half a billion euros, which underlines the urgency of the project.
Another step towards the implementation of the master plan is the transfer of the castle property to a foundation to generate capital for necessary renovation measures. In order to operate the museums together in the future, the establishment of a special -purpose association will be sought.
redesign of the Lindenau Museum
In addition to the master plan, there are also plans for redesigning the entrance area of the Lindenau Museum. On February 10, 2023, the preliminary draft of the architecture firm Hoskins Planungs GmbH was selected as the best solution after six architectural offices had participated in the process. The criteria for the redesign include accessibility, a harmonious integration into the palace garden and an aesthetic connection with the historic building, such as [altenburgerland.de] (https://www.altenburgerland.de/de/aktuelles/Pressemitteilungen/vorentwuerfe-der-ideenfind-.
The evaluation team, consisting of architects, monument protectionists and representatives of the city society, has clearly defined the requirements for the building. This includes modern air conditioning technology, new sanitary facilities and barrier -free development. The renovation of the Lindenau Museum is supported by a Bundestag decision of November 2018, which provides 24 million euros for modernization, flanked by the Free State of Thuringia by another 24 million euros
The year 2023 thus marks an anniversary: 175 years after the opening of the first art museum and the associated art school in the 19th century, Altenburg looks at a promising future as a center for culture and education.
