Source

The Schwedenspeicher Museum, which was renamed Museum Schwedenspeicher in 2011, has been a regional museum in the Hanseatic city of Stade in Lower Saxony since 1977. The museum is housed in a baroque brick building from the second half of the 17th century, which was built during the city's 67-year affiliation with Sweden. The museum's content focuses on the archaeology and history of the Elbe-Weser region in general and the city of Stade in particular.

Exhibitions and Events at the Museum

The ground floor of the museum is used for events and special exhibitions. It also presents a condensed representation of the city's history with exhibits from the Hanseatic port of Stade. These exhibits preserve 1000 years of city history and are among the important port find complexes in Europe.

Hanseatic Period Exhibition

The first floor of the museum houses a large exhibition on the Hanseatic period. This includes a replica of the Adler von Lübeck at a scale of 1:50. The current state of Hanseatic research is presented using the example of the Hanseatic city of Stade, providing visitors with a comprehensive understanding of this significant historical period.

Permanent Archaeological Exhibition

The second floor of the museum features a permanent archaeological exhibition. This includes the clothing of the Iron Age bog body Mann von Obenaltendorf and the four Stade bronze wheels from around 1000 BC. These exhibits provide a fascinating insight into the region's ancient history and archaeological discoveries.
