Beautifully crafted Easter eggs in different techniques from all over the world, customs and games around the egg, as well as egg cups, warmers or containers introduce themselves.

Building / plot situation

The Easter Egg Museum is located in a four-sided farm typical of this region. Here in Sabrodt in the house of Matthes Kujasch, language, customs and egg decorating were cultivated. Today, his granddaughter, Dorothea Tschöke, continues these traditions.

Characteristics

The Sabrodt Easter Egg Museum offers an exhibition all about eggs. On display are Easter eggs from all over the world collected by members of the "Lausitzer Heimatverein e.V." since 1971, as well as winning collections from the Sorbian "Easter Egg Competition Bautzen". Visitors learn interesting facts about customs at different times of the year and games with eggs. In addition to eggs in a wide variety of techniques and made of different materials, the exhibition also presents egg cups, egg warmers, egg containers, egg bringers, egg layers, egg cutters and many other egg objects. The museum also houses the largest blueprint model of Brandenburg and Saxony.
The film "When Jan and Lenka get married", shot in Sabrodt in 1955, shows the Sorbian wedding. Visitors can watch this and other films on Sorbian/Wendish customs, egg customs of the world and the sights of Lusatia.
A Franconian egg fountain has been reconstructed and can be visited in the outdoor facilities.

Special exhibitions / accompanying offers

The Sorbian/Wendish egg decorating techniques can not only be viewed in the museum, but also learned in creative courses. In the egg painting workshop, visitors have the opportunity to take part in an internal museum competition with their self-designed works of art. Particularly unusual eggs can also be made, e.g. a landscape in an egg.
Every year, the prize-winning Easter eggs from the Sorbian "Easter Egg Competition Bautzen" are on display.
A travelling exhibition on blueprinting explains the techniques of blueprinting and tells the differences between blueprinting with models, industrial printing and handmade screen printing.

Seit 15 Jahren sind die Eiertage in der Späth’schen Baumschule in Berlin ein fester Bestandteil unserer Arbeit. Dort präsentieren wir unser Angebot eines mobilen Museums mit kreativen Kursen – von der traditionellen Eiermalerei bis zum Kürbisschnitzen. Begleitend informieren wir über die sorbische/wendische Kultur sowie die Kulturroute durch die Lausitz. Interessierte erhalten Informationen zu den Angeboten, Veranstaltungsorten, Terminen und Anreisemöglichkeiten.
About the Kultur-Pfadfinder in Görlitz können unsere Programme gebucht werden. Terminwünsche sind für den Zeitraum von heute bis 2027 möglich, soweit Kapazitäten verfügbar sind.
Geplant ist außerdem die Erweiterung unseres Angebots um Begleitungen für Klassenfahrten nach Berlin. Dabei sollen die Höhepunkte der ältesten Berliner Firma, der Späth’schen Baumschule, die Märchenhütte sowie die Eiertage besucht werden. Ziel ist es, die wendische/sorbische Kultur bekannter zu machen und sie Kindern, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen auf anschauliche Weise näherzubringen.

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.

Kobi offers:

Everything about eggs - Sorbian and worldwide - egg bringers, egg layers, egg objects and lots of funny things about eggs and egg-shaped things.
