Expansion of the Museum der Stadt Löhne
The museum expanded its premises in 1992 by reconstructing a cigar maker's house from Obernbeck, originally built in 1871. In 1995, a half-timbered warehouse from Melbergen, built in 1808, was added. These additions created a unique ensemble of buildings, each with its own historical significance.
