Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox museum Шаблон:Wikidata (Шаблон:Lang-de) is an historical museum situated in Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, Germany. The museum was founded in 1903 as the Homeland Museum of the City of Hanover (Шаблон:Lang). Its collections are related to the history of the city, the history of the House of Guelf, and of the state of Lower Saxony.
History
The museum, operated by the City of Hanover, opened on Шаблон:Wikidata as Homeland Museum of the City of Hanover (Шаблон:Lang) in the Шаблон:Ill[2] The founding took place on the initiative of the Шаблон:Ill[3] before being renamed to Lower Saxon Folklore Museum (Шаблон:Lang) in 1937. Destroyed in 1943 during the aerial bombings of World War II, provisional reconstruction began in 1950, at which time it adopted the temporary name of Lower Saxon Homeland Museum (Шаблон:Lang). In 1966 the museum opened with its present name in a new building designed by the architect Dieter Oesterlen. The Association of the Friends of the Historical Museum (Шаблон:Lang) supports the work of the museum both materially and non-materially.[4]
In 2017, the museum's permanent exhibition, conceived in 1993, was redesigned.[5] In 2020, at the start of the lockdowns combating the global COVID-19 pandemic, the museum closed for renovations that were initially projected to take three years.[6] Шаблон:As of, renovation plans that seek a reopening sometime between 2028 and 2030 are projected to be presented for approval in 2024 and commencement of renovation works at the start of 2025.[7] Until it reopens the museum intends to exhibit externally, rebranding itself as an outside museum (Шаблон:Lang) and history in motion (Шаблон:Lang).[7]
Location
The headquarters of the museum is located at the Шаблон:Ill on the Leine river, where the establishment of the medieval settlement of Hanover in the 11th century is thought to have occurred near a Leine crossing of the road between Hildesheim and Bremen that was secured here by a fiefdom. Even if the derivation of the city's name "Шаблон:Lang" or "Шаблон:Lang" from "High Bank" is not correct, as contemporary research suggests, the museum nevertheless has a unique location in the area of the city's origin.
The Шаблон:Ill integrated into the museum is the last completely preserved tower of the medieval Шаблон:Ill The museum building also incorporates a high stone wall of the ducal Шаблон:Ill built between 1643 and 1649, and remnants of the city wall facing the High Bank. Hanover's historic old town within which the museum is situated was completely destroyed in World War II, with Шаблон:Ill (Шаблон:Lang) featuring numerous half-timbered houses reconstructed in the 1960s, as well as the Шаблон:Ill restored in the 1980s at the Шаблон:Ill In 2013, discovery of significant medieval finds during construction work on a neighbouring plot led to a three-months archaeological investigation in the area.
Building
Between 1964 and 1967 the contemporary museum building was constructed on the site of a block of flats destroyed during the war. Incorporating the Beguine Tower and remnants of the ducal armoury, the building by architect Dieter Oesterlen features a polygonal footprint around a pentagonal inner courtyard. Its striking façade of three storeys with alternating broad sandstone surfaces and narrow bands of windows has a staggered appearance when seen from its north along Castle Street. It was renovated in 1991, and in 2002 the department of regional history on the ground floor and a part of the city history on the first floor were redesigned.
A light installation dating to the year 2000 by the American conceptual artist Joseph Kosuth of an illuminated quotation by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz on the building exterior facing the Leine reads:[8] Шаблон:Quote
