Krakow am See Local History Museum

Krakow am See Local History Museum – Insights into Everyday Life in Mecklenburg

The Krakow am See Local History Museum offers an authentic glimpse into life in the historic Mecklenburg farming town of Krakow. It vividly illustrates how people in earlier times lived, cooked, and organized their daily lives. Many of the exhibited items were provided by the citizens of Krakow themselves—which gives the collection a special personal touch.

Authentic furnishings from the kitchen, living room, and bedroom

On display are rooms furnished true to the original: a parlor, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a laundry room from days gone by. These detailed artifacts of daily life convey a vivid picture of Mecklenburg rural life, as it has been preserved over generations in the region between the Baltic Sea coast and the lake district.

Krakow am See – Cultural Excursion in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Krakow am See is located in the heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, surrounded by the idyllic Mecklenburg Lake District. A visit to the Heimatstube can be easily combined with an excursion to the surrounding region—whether to the Baltic Sea coast near Rostock, to Wismar, or toward Fischland-Darß-Zingst. Anyone wishing to explore the history and culture of Mecklenburg beyond the major museums will find this a worthwhile stop.
