The Rehmuseum, located in Berchtesgaden, is a unique institution dedicated to the exhibition of deer trophies and the documentation of deer habitats. The museum is housed in the former stables opposite the Royal Palace and is owned by the Wittelbacher Ausgleichsfonds. The collection, which provides a fascinating insight into the life and environment of deer, was painstakingly assembled by Albrecht Duke of Bavaria.
Opening of the Rehmuseum
The Rehmuseum was inaugurated in 2005, marking the 100th birthday of Duke Albrecht of Bavaria. The museum, which spans 400 square meters, is located in the former stables of the Royal Palace Berchtesgaden. The establishment of the museum was overseen by Bernd E. Ergert, the former director of the German Hunting and Fishing Museum.
Collection at the Rehmuseum
The Rehmuseum showcases research objects from the Weichselboden hunting ground. Over the years, the collection has grown to include 1290 buck skulls, 590 doe and fawn skulls, and 3425 shed antlers. Interestingly, many of the shed antlers have been matched with the corresponding buck skulls, allowing visitors to trace the development of the bucks.
