Local history memorial with literary-historical collection - original setting of the well-known novel trilogy "Der Laden" (The Shop)
Building / plot situation
The brick residential building with shop and attached bakery at Dorfstraße 37 was built around 1895 and acquired by Strittmatters' parents from relatives in June 1919. The village shop and bakery were run by the family until 31 December 1949. Since 30 January 1999, "Der Laden" has been open to the public as a museum memorial.
Characteristics
"The shop" - as an authentic place of Erwin Strittmatter's and his family's work - is modelled on the sales facilities of the 1920s and 1930s using original equipment, with individual exhibits dating from the post-war period. This historic village or "colonial goods shop" forms the core of the Bohsdorf memorial. In the adjoining room, which once belonged to the bakery, there is a small exhibition on the family, the historical setting of the "Laden" trilogy and the work of Erwin Strittmatter.
The exhibition area has now been extended to the former living rooms. In the media room, the former boys' dormitory, it is now possible to watch films about Erwin Strittmatter or listen to the audio books "Laden 1-3" and "Pony Pedro" read by Erwin Geschonneck.
Since 2014, the exhibits of the former "Ochsenkutscher" (exhibition of the Krechlock family in Jerischke) have been located in the barn of the Strittmatter property.
Special exhibitions / accompanying offers
In the meeting place, groups are given the opportunity to experience slide or video presentations around film production (Jo Beyer) (video presentation 8,- €).
Guided circular walk: For interested visitors, a 1.7 km signposted circular walk is marked in Bohsdorf, along which other historical sites of the novel trilogy can be visited. Guided walks of 1 or 2 hours are organised for groups of 10 or more by prior arrangement.
Offers for children - With Kobi to the museum
Kobi - the little house ghost - is at home in the museum. He lives there in a 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 pass them on to the children - stories from the old, old days.
