Museum Lützen 1632 Opens, Honoring Thirty Years' War History

The new museum in Lützen offers insights into the 1632 battle and the lives of soldiers during one of Europe's most brutal conflicts.

The Museum Lützen 1632, designed by architect Peter Zirkel, was inaugurated after three and a half years of construction and an investment of 8.4 million euros.
Sachsen-Anhalt's Ministerpräsident Reiner Haseloff emphasized the museum's role in fostering awareness of war's horrors, particularly for young visitors.
The museum features a 450-square-meter exhibition space with artifacts, graphics, and images depicting the Thirty Years' War and the Battle of Lützen.
A significant exhibit includes the remains of 47 soldiers discovered in 2011, marking the only mass grave found from the 1632 battle.
The museum aims to attract regional visitors, school groups, and international tourists, offering additional access to the nearby castle museum.
