Fonds StadtA GOE, C 49 - Municipal Museum

On the initiative of Professor Moriz Heyne, a German scholar at the University of Göttingen since 1883, the museum was opened on 1 October 1889 as the "Städtische Altertumssammlung" in six rooms of the Grätzelschen Haus in Alleestraße (today: Goetheallee). Despite the drafts submitted in 1888 by City Councillor Heinrich Gerber, a new building project could not be realised for cost reasons. Since the "Stadt-Cafe" was soon to be established in the Grätzelhaus and the museum's shortage of space grew steadily due to the increase in the number of exhibits, the antiquities collection was given a new home in the house of the former restaurant Velguth in Burgstraße 13 in 1893. However, because this building had to give way to the construction of Friedrichstraße, the museum moved to the "Hardenberger Hof" on the Ritterplan in 1897, which was built in 1592 and redesigned by Gerber, the city architect, and also housed the city archives. The opening ceremony took place on 28 November 1897. After the town archive had moved out of the building in 1902, the museum was able to use its premises as well. From 1912 onwards, the rooms of the neighbouring Alte Post, now connected by an intermediate wing, were gradually incorporated into the museum and the holdings rearranged. In the following decades, all museum directors endeavoured to enlarge the exhibition and magazine areas and to give the museum a visitor-friendly appearance. But the amount of space remained and so large parts of the collection had to be moved to the magazines. In 1979 the former house of the postal administrator, the Alte Posthalterei in Jüdenstraße 38, was also included in the museum area. This extension led to a complete redesign of the permanent exhibitions. The Städtisches Museum celebrated its centenary in 1989. The first structural damage to the Alte Posthalterei was discovered in 2005. Further investigations revealed that the entire building, the adjoining stable and shed building and the Hardenberger Hof showed considerable damage and threatened to collapse. Starting in 2008, the Alte Posthalterei was extensively renovated and reopened on 20 May 2012 for International Museum Day. The remaining buildings are currently being renovated. Today, the Städtisches Museum occupies a permanent place in Göttingen as a place of collection and contact for questions about the city's history, but also as a place for a wide range of cultural activities.

The documents of the Göttingen Municipal Museum were first deposited in the Göttingen Municipal Archives in two forms: on 30 October 2008 as Acc. No. 1933/2008 and on December 3, 2009 as Acc. No. 1989/2009. The first tax consisted in particular of the files (156 serial numbers), the second of only two foreign and two guest books. A third filing by the museum followed on 10 December 2012 (Acc. No. 2104/2012). Even though some of the archives date back to the early 20th century, the focus of the C 49 collection is on the period after 1945 and is close to the present. The most recent documents date from 2010, with a focus on the numerous files relating to the exhibitions, in particular the special exhibitions of the Städtisches Museum; relatively extensive are also the files relating to correspondence and cooperation with professional associations, societies and federations. The basis for the structure of the holdings was the "File Plan of the Städtische Museum Göttingen" (Office 44; status: approx. 1990). Its former subdivisions 44 01 "General administration" and 44 02 "Circulars, instructions, security and insurance matters" were combined as "1 General administration", the subdivisions 44 08 "Professional associations" and 44 23 5 "Associations and federations" as "6 Professional associations, associations and federations" as well as 44 23 3 "Public relations" and 44 23 6 "Advertising and public relations" as "10 Public relations, advertising". C 49 is thus broken down as follows:1 General administration2 Personnel3 Establishment and operation4 Statistics5 Finances6 Professional associations, societies and federations7 Objects of collection8 Photo and information service9 Exhibitions10 Public relations, Advertising11 Publications and scientific projects12 Contract matters13 Archäologische Stadtkernforschung14 MiscellaneousFrom 1992 onwards, archäologische Stadtkernforschung was no longer the responsibility of the Städtisches Museum, but became part of the department "Denkmalpflege" (Preservation of Monuments) in Department IV and there in the "Amt für Bauordnung und Denkmalpflege (63)" (Office for Building Regulations and Preservation of Monuments) with the classification number 63.The numerous files with the title "Correspondence" available under "1 General Administration" contain - partly chronologically, partly alphabetically - the correspondence on a wide variety of topics that arose during the given period.Literature :100 Years of Göttingen and its Museum : Texts and materials for the exhibition in the Städtisches Museum and the Old Town Hall 1 October 1989 - 7 January 1990 / [Responsible: Hans-Georg Schmeling].Göttingen, 1989 - 311 pp. Ill.signature: A 576Crome, Bruno: Guide through the antiquity collection (Städtisches Museum Göttingen 1).Göttingen : Vandenhoeck
