House of History Baden-Württemberg
Haus der Geschichte Baden-Württemberg
A contemporary history museum on the Kulturmeile (culture mile). Multimedia exhibits tell the story of Baden-Württemberg over nearly two centuries, from migration and war to the car industry.
The House of History Baden-Württemberg sits beside the State Gallery on the Kulturmeile (Culture Mile). Through lively scenes and interactive multimedia, it presents the history of the Baden and Württemberg regions since the 19th century. Topics include statehood in the Napoleonic era, emigration to America, the two World Wars, postwar reconstruction and the rise of the car industry, as well as German football and folk festivals. Admission to the permanent exhibition is about €5, and there are often free hours on Fridays. Exhibits are mainly in German, but English guided tours are available.
