Historic Town Center and Local History Museum

The historic town center, St. Petri Church and the local history museum offer different ways to get to know Müden (Aller) through its history and local attractions. St. Petri Church is in the town; the local history museum adds concrete insights into past ways of living and working to the cultural experience.

At the local history museum, you can visit a lovingly furnished farmhouse parlor. There are also workshops belonging to coopers, mechanical engineers, cobblers, tailors and hairdressers. The museum thus brings together a furnished living space and a range of workshops as distinct things to see.

The collection features objects from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The local history museum also includes a traditional general store, known as a “Tante-Emma-Laden”; it may evoke childhood memories for some visitors. The farmhouse parlor, workshops, collection and store each offer their own highlights. Check current visitor information before planning a museum visit, as details may vary.

Rivers and Views

In Müden (Aller), the Oker, which flows from the Harz Mountains, joins the Aller. Two rivers meet here, and their courses also play a role in the routes around the area. The Gloystein Bridge offers its own vantage point: from there, you can enjoy a good view of the Aller, the Oker and the Oker weir.

The view from the bridge brings together the river landscape, a specific structure and the weir. If you are interested in waterways, you can consider this view in relation to the rivers’ confluence. The landscape is therefore more than a general impression of the area: it can be experienced at named locations and along specific rivers.
