“Sand and Sandstone” Local History Museum in Rambow – 14,000 Exhibits in Moltzow
In Rambow near Moltzow, nestled amid the tranquil lake landscape of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, lies a very special private collection: The “Sand und Sandstein” Local History Museum impressively showcases 14,000 exhibits from a wide variety of areas of life. The collection is divided into indoor and outdoor sections and deliberately avoids a specific focus, instead offering a broad cross-section of human collecting culture.
Minerals, globes, irons, and butter-wrapping paper—the collection’s main themes
Highlights inside include 1,600 minerals and stones from around the world, 755 types of sand from 130 countries, and over 1,200 salt and pepper shakers dating from 1880 onward. In addition, there are 60 globes, 50 historical atlases, 45 encyclopedias, 56 nutcrackers, and 60 irons spanning four centuries. A true rarity is a collection of 300 butter wrappers from 20 European countries—a find that is likely one-of-a-kind in this form.
Tours of the Rambow Local History Museum are by appointment only
Since the collection is housed in a private residence, visits are possible only by prior appointment. All necessary contact information can be found in the contact box on this page. Anyone traveling through the Mecklenburg Lake District or heading inland from the Baltic Sea coast—for example, from Rostock or Stralsund—will find this a worthwhile detour off the main tourist routes.

Permanent exhibition "Model railroads from 150 years"
● Moltzow
150 years of model railroading - 15 dioramas, display cases and model railroad panels show the development of model railroading from its beginnings to the present day. A model railroad is a scaled-down (scale smaller than one) replica of parts of a "large" railroad. The classic toy trains were already being built on a larger scale at the beginning of the 20th century for the nominal size 1 in 1:32 and 0 in 1:45. Well-known manufacturers included Bing and Märklin. It is typical that the locomotives can drive themselves thanks to a built-in drive. The size ratio between the model and the prototype (for example 1:87) is referred to as the scale, whereby common scales are each assigned a letter/number abbreviation (T, Z, N, TT, H0, 0 etc.; order starting with the largest reduction in size). The most common scales are - T, 3mm M 1:480 - Z, 6mm M 1:220 - N, 9mm M 1:160 - TT, 12mm M1:120 - H0, 16mm M1:87 - 0, 32 mm M1:45 - II, 64mm M1:22.5). The exhibition will feature 15 dioramas, showcases and model railroad plates in these gauges. There are also plans to build a G-gauge garden railroad in 45 mm. This scale reproduces a narrow-gauge railroad with an original gauge of approx. 1200 mm. Please telephone or register by email before visiting.
