Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg

The Museum of Art Wolfsburg was planned and implemented as a lively and dynamic center for conveying modern and contemporary art. The museum is borne by a private foundation. According to its bipolar concept of collection and exhibition the Museum of Art is a cosmopolitan stage offering a diverse program filled with rotation and cadences. It is not a sacred, hermetically sealed temple of the muses. The broad palette of the exhibition program encompasses presentations of modern classics and contemporary, internationally established as well as young and innovative artists. Traditional and new media of fine arts are equally well represented. The collection is limited to a few selected pieces of contemporary art.

Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben-Museum in the Castle Fallersleben


Situated in the midst of beautiful parks, this medieval building today functions as Hoffman-von-Fallersleben-Museum. In the 19th century Hoffmann-von-Fallersleben was a significant poet and researcher of literature. He was born in 1798 in the present-day Wolfsburg city-district of Fallersleben. His most famous work is the German national anthem "Song of the Germans". However, many children's songs and poems are also penned by him. The museum can lay claim to being one of Germany's great literary museums.

Citymuseum in Wolfsburg castle

In the remises of Wolfsburg castle the history of the castle and the historical development of the region come alive. But traces of more recent history, which are ever-present all over Wolfsburg, are displayed in an exciting, entertaining way. Many developments of German post-war history can be perfectly re-experienced. Urban development, the German "economic miracle" and general welfare, prevention of large-scale unemployment and the integration of foreigners are classified as exceptional model for all of Germany.

Built on a rock-massif on Hehlinger creek upstream from the lowlands of the Aller river, Burg Neuhaus is considered to be one of the best preserved medieval keeps of northern Germany.
