You can discover many interesting and exciting items in the Neustadt museum for 100 years already: fossils, a very old logboat, ballad-monger picture sheets, originals from Neustadt and its surroundings and much, much more.

A special attraction is the unique collection of archaelogical finds from the well-known excavation site „Marienbad“ in Neustadt harbour. Some finds are singular within Northern Europe.

The museum is located in the „Kremper Tor“ (Krempe Gate) and its outbuildings. This gate belonged to the medieval fortification of the city. Except from Lübeck it is the only preserved city gate in Holstein.

The museum offers educational hands-on activities as well as, for instance, humorous guided tours on different topics. The events focus on touching and trying out genuine exhibits.
