Heimatmuseum "Krone"

In the town center, where Kastellauner Straße and Kirchberger Straße meet, stands the Heimat house "Krone". The two-story building is a magnificent half-timbered house from the mid-18th century that was used as an inn for more than 200 years.

In 1986, the municipality acquired the old property and had it restored. The museum "Haus Krone", opened in 1991, is not a local museum in the classical sense, but presents itself to visitors as a museum of rural everyday culture. The living spaces are furnished with old furniture and household items from past times. On over 250 sqm of exhibition space (spread over 3 floors), one can experience life in the Hunsrück region in the past.
On the ground floor, there is a living room with original furniture from around 1890 - 1920 and a beautiful Cologne stucco ceiling from the late 18th century. On the upper floor, there is a bedroom and a kitchen with original furnishings from the first half of the 20th century, as well as a comprehensive community archive. The rooms in the attic are dedicated to agriculture and old professions. Many tools and craft equipment from the 19th and 20th centuries can be seen, as well as a fully equipped "spinning and weaving room".
