Where Strittmatter went to school

Building / plot situation

The church, in the middle of the village green with its slate-roofed tower and the gilded weather vane with the cockerel, is the landmark of the village. In its immediate vicinity is the "Old School", which is also the community centre. Erwin Strittmatter, Spremberg's most famous son, was enrolled in this school in 1919. The stone that gave the village its name is also right next to the church.

Characteristics

The former classroom houses two exhibitions, "Strittmatter and Graustein" and "School in Strittmatter's Time".

Offers for children - With Kobi to the museum

Kobi - the little house ghost - is at home in the museum. There he lives in the slipper under the stove. At midnight he eavesdrops on the old museum pieces when they tell stories about the past. He tells these exciting stories to the museum staff, who then tell them to the children - stories from the old, old days.

Kobi offer:
