Museum Viadrina (Junkerhaus)
The Museum Viadrina is the largest museum dedicated to cultural history in the eastern part of Germany. Accordingly, it resides in a historical building of transregional significance.
Set on medieval cellar vaults the Junkerhaus used to be the quarters of dukes and princes of the Hohenzollern dynasty during their studies at the oldest university of Brandenburg. In the course of a baroque-style revamp in the late 17th century it gained a palace-like character. Finally, in 1957 the Museum moved into the house.
The permanent and special exhibitions address Frankfurt’s significant status in the middle ages, the history of its alma mater, aspects of military history, Frankfurt’s prominent music history as well as the more recent development in the 20th century.
