The Stadtmuseum and -archiv Cottbus, also known as Měsćański muzej a archiw Chóśebuz in Lower Sorbian, is the municipal archive of the city of Cottbus in Brandenburg. It is located in Bahnhofstraße in the Mitte district. This museum and archive serves as a repository for the city's historical documents and also hosts exhibitions on the city's history.

Founding of the City Museum

In October 1887, the "Niederlausitzer Gesellschaft für Anthropologie und Urgeschichte" opened the first exhibition on the history of Cottbus, which is considered the founding date of the city museum. This marked the beginning of the museum's role in preserving and showcasing the city's history through various exhibitions.

Expansion of the City Museum and Archive

Since December 2015, the city museum and archive also use the former savings bank building in Bahnhofstraße 22, opposite the printing house building. It was renovated before the conversion and is mainly used for exhibitions of the city museum. This additional location allows the museum to host larger exhibitions and provides more space for the preservation of the city's historical documents.
