Local history workshops for children
Many of the City Museum’s exhibits reveal fascinating details about life in the town of Aurach during the Middle Ages. Through play, children learn more about their town’s cloth-making and dyeing traditions, delve into the history of the ‘slipper cobblers’, or learn how to use a quill and ink in the medieval writing workshop.
Herzogenaurauch Museum Kit
The museum kit is suitable for history lessons with Year 10 pupils (Grammar School or Secondary School) and Year 9 pupils (Middle School). It contains authentic artefacts and original documents relating to the contemporary history of Herzogenaurach in the 1950s. An interview with a local resident from Herzogenaurach rounds off the kit.
Up to four working groups can use the materials to prepare short presentations on the topics of ‘Integration of refugees and displaced persons’, ‘Economic structural change and the boom’, ‘Political stability and the social market economy’, and ‘Leisure, consumption and changing attitudes’.
The museum kit can be combined with a themed guided tour of the town or the museum. It can be used both in the museum and in schools.
