On the trail of Sorbian/Wendish customs at the Sacro Village Museum

The village museum has brought together evidence of everyday life that documents the village way of life in the communities north of Forst and east of the Neisse River. The folkloristic collection is particularly relevant to Sorbian/Wendish history. A collection of original historical photographs from the surrounding villages is also interesting. On the upper floor of the museum, which is a half-timbered building, you can see a bedroom from 1900 as well as festive costumes worn by men and women from 1805. A tour of the upper floor, where exercise books from 1805, books from 1850 and a historical school blackboard are on display, provides insights into the Prussian primary schools.

City tour and city rally at the Brandenburg Textile Museum Forst

For once, the children experience our home town of Forst (Lausitz) very attentively, walk through old streets and learn a lot about the history of the once so vibrant textile town. Why do some streets still have small railway tracks today? The children have the opportunity to go on a search for clues. They are given interesting clues to specific buildings or facilities they are looking for. With this information, they can find the building they are looking for - and to finally solve the riddle, they take a photo of it.

In addition, we can organise the crypt (€1.00) and/or an ascent to the tower (€2.50) in the Stadtkirche. These costs are then payable to the Stadtkirche.
