The Dithmarscher Landesmuseum is located just 1.5 hours' drive from Flensburg. Immerse yourself in the eventful cultural and regional history of Dithmarschen - in Schleswig-Holstein's oldest museum building. The newly designed and multimedia permanent exhibition takes you on a journey through more than 1200 years of Dithmarsch history - from the medieval heyday of the so-called peasant republic to the horrors of National Socialism. What makes up the ‘Dithmarschen myth’? Unique exhibits and documents shed light on important historical events and tell the story of the land and its people.

Take a journey into the past! Faithfully furnished living and business rooms take you directly into the everyday life of the people of Dithmarschen between 1870 and the 1960s. Social change, economic upturn and a growing range of leisure activities in rural areas are brought to life in the listed building of the former Meldorf Scholars' School.

In addition, the Dithmarscher Landesmuseum offers you a varied annual programme with exciting special exhibitions and events, panel discussions on current topics, readings and much more.
