Town Museum Amtsturm Lübz
● Lübz
The Amtsturm is one of the best-preserved fortified towers in Germany - built over 700 years ago. The charm and special feature of the old town of Lübz on the Müritz-Elde waterway lies in the unity of its well-preserved historical layout. The Amtsturm, the only witness to the Lübzer Eldenburg, is late Romanesque in appearance and was built at the same time as the castle between 1306 and 1308 by Margraves Otto and Hermann von Brandenburg. The castle, which was finally rebuilt, was the ducal widow's residence from 1547 to 1634. The last regent in the castle was Duchess Sophie (1569-1634). After her death, the castle fell into disrepair and was largely sold for demolition between 1691 and 1706. The last tower of this castle has been a town museum since 1976. In the four permanent exhibition rooms, visitors can learn about the castle in the context of its development from a village to the town of Lübz, about the crafts of the time, which played a major role in determining the structure, and about the life of the people of Lübz around 1900. In the upper room with a rare cell vault and the tower clock from 1856, visitors can find information about the most traditional Lübz business, the "Mecklenburgische Brauerei Lübz GmbH", founded in 1877. Since 1999, the museum has had an extended exhibition area in the historic Amtshaus - now the town hall of the town of Lübz. The building was erected in 1759 as a ducal office on the ruins and vaults of the old "Eldenburg". Traces of these previous buildings can still be seen today in the cellars that house the museum.
