Permanent Exhibition at Hambach Castle: Up, Up to the Castle

What's it about?

The exhibition "Up, up to the castle!" vividly shows why Hambach Castle is considered the cradle of German democracy. The events surrounding the Hambach Festival on May 27, 1832, are conveyed through exhibits, interactive stations, and opportunities for deeper engagement. The regional roots of the festival are made clear, as are its national and European dimensions. The second part of the exhibition bridges the gap from 1832 to the present day. Under the motto "Show your true colors!", a variety of interactive stations invite visitors to participate, vote, comment, and test their own courage to stand up for their beliefs. This involves "Hambach themes" such as freedom of opinion, freedom of the press, black-red-gold, and Europe.
