The unplanned visit to this museum made my Sunday! I drove to Hildburghausen to enjoy a breakfast. Believe it or not I could not find a single place in downtown Hildburghausen which offered this service. So please be prepared. Have a breakfast in your hotel or wherever you stay before you leave on a Sunday morning.
I was very disappointed, hungry and cold. I learned that many places would be open for lunch. For that reason, I decided to visit the museum in the meantime on this Sunday morning. Surprisingly, it was already open shortly after 9:00 am and I received a very friendly welcome.

The "Thuringian Forest" is one of the major attractions of this state. Naturally, the lumber industry always played an important part.
This time-limited special exhibition showed in detail, how the forest is being used, and also a history of all the tools which help to perform the hard work.
Please contact the museum to get actual information about these special exhibitions if you are interested.
Please visit the original web site of the museum. After they have fixed the dead links it will provide much more qualified information than my site.
I was only a hungry visitor who was starving for a good lunch.

Hildburghausen can be traced back to the year 1234. The museum provides much information about the town's history. This includes the influence of the so called "Third Reich" which also changed things in this little town.
Original propaganda is displayed to document this.
