  • 4/5 Roland Z. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A lot of history to Freiburg in the basement, in the courtyard and on the 1st floor of the house Wentzinger. Old city models, a model of the "most beautiful tower of Christendom" and the four seasons as monumental statues in the covered courtyard of the building. Man / woman can learn a lot and learn about the history of the city of Freiburg, its construction, development (Original) Viel Geschichte zu Freiburg im Keller, im Innenhof und im 1. Obergeschoss des Hauses Wentzinger. Alte Stadtmodelle, ein Baumodell des "schönsten Turms der Christenheit" und die vier Jahrezeiten als monumentale Statuen im überdachten Innenhof des Gebäudes. Mann/Frau kann einiges erfahren und lernen über die Geschichte der Stadt Freiburg, deren Aufbau, Entwicklung

    (Translated by Google) The museum gives the impression that Freiburg consists only of the cathedral and surroundings. The staff did not know what was offered and had to study their board first. Toilets are only possible after payment of entry. To the exhibited objects I often missed a short sign to what it is at all. (Original) Das Museum erweckt den Eindruck, Freiburg besteht nur aus dem Münster und Umgebung. Die Angestellten wussten nicht so Recht was geboten wird und musste erstmal ihre Tafel studieren. Toilettengang ist nur nach Bezahlung des Eintritts möglich. Zu den ausgestellten Objekten fehlten mir öfters ein kurzes Hinweisschild um was es sich überhaupt handelt.

  • 3/5 Swantje L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We wanted to take a look at the museum to get a first impression of Freiburg and to visit historic places in a targeted way. Upon request, which emphasis the museum has, we were told that we have to pay first, then we would see it. That would not be common to give information. But then we were still the floors explained, but the good woman had to read the sign behind him. On the challenging question: "And you think that's something for you?" Then we stayed and paid the 3 € entrance fee per person. Many models, interesting vaulted cellar and a few preserved objects from different eras. Many of the exhibits are not labeled, which is a pity. The house itself is worth a second look and there are also some panels that give a background information. After the museum I have the impression that possible starting points in Freiburg are limited to the cathedral and the buildings around it. Bzw that the history of the city consists only of the cathedral and its surroundings. Maybe we'll find some interesting spots if we just go away. (Original) Wir wollten uns das Museum ansehen, um einen ersten Eindruck von Freiburg zu bekommen und im Anschluss historisch bedeutsame Orte gezielt besichtigen zu können. Auf Nachfrage hin, welche Schwerpunkte das Museum habe, wurden wir darauf hingewiesen, dass wir erst zahlen müssen, dann würden wir es ja sehen. Das wäre nicht üblich Auskunft zu geben. Dann wurden uns aber doch noch die Stockwerke erläutert, das musste die gute Frau jedoch auf den Schild hinter sich ablesen. Auf die herausfordernde Frage: "Und? Meinen Sie das ist etwas für Sie?" Sind wir dann doch geblieben und haben die 3€ Eintritt pro Person gezahlt. Viele Modelle, interessanter Gewölbekeller und ein paar erhaltene Gegenstände aus verschiedenen Epochen. Viele der Exponate sind jedoch nicht beschriftet, was sehr schade ist. Das Haus an sich ist einen zweiten Blick wert und hierzu gibt es auch einige Tafeln, die einem Hintergrundinformationen geben. Nach den Museum habe ich den Eindruck, dass sich mögliche Anlaufpunkte in Freiburg auf das Münster und die Gebäude drum herum beschränken. Bzw dass die Geschichte der Stadt nur aus dem Münster und dessen Umgebung besteht. Vielleicht finden wir ja noch den ein oder anderen interessanten Fleck, wenn wir einfach drauflosgehen.

    We took the guided tour and we had a great experience, learning a lot of interesting stories about the history of Freiburg, as well as the famous painter and architect J. Wentzinger

  • 1/5 Morten K. 3 years ago on Google • 84 reviews
    Incoherent and badly communicated of whatever it is they wanted to communicate. My partner and I left after half an hour not really any wiser on Freiburg and not really knowing what we should have been wiser about... At least we only wasted 3€ in total 😉

  • 3/5 Sara O. 2 years ago on Google • 68 reviews
    It’s a nice museum for some history of the Munster (German only though). Not really expensive. Nice historical building

  • 5/5 Eli “Eli” C. 4 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    Very friendly staff!!! Very interesting museum 😇

  • 4/5 Hasan M. 1 year ago on Google • 19 reviews
    A small but beautiful museum about the history of Freiburg. 2 hours max to go through it. Very friendly staff.

  • 1/5 Simon L. 4 years ago on Google • 7 reviews
    OK but not really worth the entrance fee. Not much to see and information about the few exhibits there are only in German so not good for foreign visitors.

  • 3/5 Neela S. 4 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Nice little place to pass an hour... Great model of the Münster and surrounding area, as well as other really detailed pictures. But there is definitely a lack of captions and explanations of some objects on the ground floor, and the male guide on the first floor made me feel very uncomfortable, as he followed me around the entire first floor, focusing solely on me instead of other guests, and often interrupted me when I was reading something. It's a nice thing to do on a rainy afternoon but definitely not worth the 5 Euro entrance fee!

    (Translated by Google) Only the staircase with the ceiling painting is really worth seeing (Original) Richtig sehenswert ist eigentlich nur das Treppenhaus mit dem Deckengemälde

  • 3/5 Jaezzy P. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We liked it. Very informative and not boring. At best the armor was "trying on" and the reconstruction film, about Freiburg, in the basement. (Original) Uns hat es gefallen. Sehr informativ und nicht langweilig. Ab besten war das Rüstung "anprobieren" und der Rekonstruktion Film, über Freiburg, im Untergeschoss.

    (Translated by Google) Nice little well illustrative museum (Original) Schönes kleines gut veranschaulichendes Museum

  • 1/5 Corinna S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) So far I have never seen such an uninspired museum in any city. There is no common thread running through the city's history, the descriptions of the exhibits are very poor - if at all available. The city models and the model of the Münster building are ok but just too little for a city like Freiburg. (Original) Bisher habe ich noch in keiner Stadt ein so uninspiriertes Museum erlebt. Es gibt keinen roten Faden, der durch die Stadtgeschichte führt, die Beschreibungen der Exponate sind sehr dürftig - wenn überhaupt vorhanden. Die Stadtmodelle und das Modell vom Münsterbau sind ok aber einfach zu wenig für eine Stadt wie Freiburg.

  • 4/5 Aaron K. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The ravages of time gnaw a bit at this museum, though it's actually very interesting! A little refreshment of the museum would not hurt. (Original) Der Zahn der Zeit nagt ein bisschen an diesem Museum, obwohl es eigentlich sehr interessant ist! Ein kleine Auffrischung des Museums würde nicht schaden.

    (Translated by Google) already interesting :) (Original) schon interessant :)

  • 3/5 Martin J. 7 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The exterior is nicer than the museum. The house has rich decoration and two oriels from the 16th century. And it is right next to the cathedral. (Original) Hezčí než muzeum je exteriér. Dům mí bohatou výzdobu a dva arkýře ze 16. století. A je hned vedle katedrály.

  • 2/5 Ronald van D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Is very disappointing, the common thread is not clear and various areas are not closed or accessible. I would have been delighted to experience "the historical story" of Freiburg, but it is basically a mess. The model in the basement is very impressive. (Original) Valt erg tegen, rode draad is niet duidelijk en diverse ruimtes niet af of toegankelijk. Had me erg verheugd om "het historische verhaal" van Freiburg mee te maken, maar het is eingenlijk een bijeengeraapt rommeltje. De maquette in de kelder is erg indrukwekkend.

  • 3/5 Harald K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Can you look at yourself. Beautifully portrayed is history of the construction of the cathedral. As a city museum it looks a bit meager overall. (Original) Kann man sich ansehen. Schön dargestellt ist Geschichte des Baus des Münsters. Als Stadtmuseum wirkt es insgesamt etwas mager.

  • 4/5 Klaus S. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum is housed in the late Baroque residence of the artist and founder Johann Christian Wentzinger. It shows objects from 900 years of city history. Interesting exhibition on the history of Freiburg with some interesting models of the city from historical times. A model of the construction of the Freiburg Minster is also well worth seeing. (Original) Das Museum ist im im spätbarocken Wohnhaus des Künstlers und Stifters Johann Christian Wentzinger untergebracht. Es zeigt Objekte aus 900 Jahren Stadtgeschichte. Interessante Ausstellung zur Geschichte von Freiburg mit einigen sehenswerten Modellen der Stadt aus historischer Zeit. Auch ein Modell vom Bau des Freiburger Münsters ist sehr sehenswert.

    (Translated by Google) I would have liked more exhibition material and city history. I don't know what the hallway should be like, there were plastic chairs and a high table.

    There are not English descriptions for anything. What is the point of founding a museum without the international language?
