Fürstenfeldbruck - Wooden sculptures, a trip to Bruck in the Roaring Twenties or the big question of what migration can mean - that's what the Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is dealing with this year.
“The focus is on people,” said Verena Beaucamp, deputy museum director, summarizing the presentation of the annual program at the Fürstenfeldbruck Museum.
Because it's not just the program that revolves around people, the museum team has also gained one more person - or rather a volunteer - in terms of personnel.
Edigna Hillebrand has been working at the museum for around four months.
The Jesenwanger studied cultural studies in Regensburg and completed her academic internship at the Brucker Museum for two years.
20,000 visitors
Before discussing the program plans for this year, museum director Barbara Kink and her deputy gave a brief review of last year: “The Pumuckl exhibition was the most successful exhibition ever,” said Kink happily.
The goblin attracted around 20,000 people to Fürstenfeldbruck.
Not only through this exhibition but also in general museum education has gotten off to a good start again.
The program now includes inclusive tours, for example for people with early dementia or in sign language, which are well received.
More relevant than ever
The current exhibition “Golden 20s – The Weimar Republic in the Provinces”, which runs until June 9th, is also about people.
Even though the “Roaring Twenties” are now a good 100 years ago, the themes of the exhibition, such as the beginnings of National Socialism, are more relevant than ever.
Regarding the current political situation, Beaucamp says: “It's not all new.
“In the exhibition you can learn from history and understand it.” This will be well received and the exhibition will probably be extended.
“On the trail of humanity” and large-format images
Wooden sculptures by Andreas Kuhnlein will be coming to Fürstenfeldbruck in 2024.
“The important German sculptor expresses people's feelings with his wood milling,” says Kink, describing the works of art.
These can be seen under the title “On the trail of humanity” from March 22nd to August 18th in the Kunsthaus, which has also been managed by the Fürstenfeldbruck Museum since last year.
Gloria Gans deals with humanity in large-format images.
Her works will be on display in the Kunsthaus from September 27th to January 12th, 2025.
The artist, who lived in Fürstenfeldbruck for a long time, deals with the themes of injustice, war and flight in her work.
Migration is in our DNA
This makes it a perfect thematic fit for the “Bruck Moves!” exhibition planned in the museum’s main building from November 28th.
The museum would like to deal with the migration history of the people in Fürstenfeldbruck over different eras.
“The topic had been lingering in our heads for a long time,” says Kink about how the idea for the exhibition came about.
“Now it was time.” “Migration is in our DNA, it is only through it that new things, whether in everyday life or culture, come into our society,” adds Beaucamp.
That's why the exhibition should revolve around the stories and experiences of people who migrated to the district.

Looking for stories
The aim is not only to look at the past, but also to shed light on current and modern stories.
To this end, the museum would like to work with the West Middle School and involve students, many of whom have a migration background.
But the citizens of Bruck are also in demand, because the museum is still looking for people who are willing to talk about their own migration experiences or want to put objects there.
