The City Museum of Lünen is set to open a special exhibition titled "How Golden Was It Really? Lünen in the 1920s" on Sunday, September 28, at 11 am. This exhibition, which runs from September 28, 2025, to April 5, 2026, promises to shed light on the opportunities and burdens that shaped the lives of local people in Lünen during this decade.

Dr. Claudia Meier, the head of the special exhibition, will guide visitors through the contradictory decade that was the 1920s in Lünen. The industrial city on the Lippe, like many others, was marked by cultural bloom, economic crises, and political uncertainty.

The exhibition will present original exhibits such as fashion magazines, identity cards, and everyday objects that offer a glimpse into the lives of Lünen's residents during this time. Visitors will also have the opportunity to engage with interactive stations, encouraging them to delve deeper into the social and economic changes experienced by the city during the 1920s.

The title of the exhibition, "How Golden Was It Really? Lünen in the 1920s," questions the perceived golden era of Lünen in the 1920s. It aims to examine the gold rush of the 1920s in Lünen and its impact on the everyday life of the city's residents, particularly during the social upheavals of the Weimar Republic.

The City Museum of Lünen is located at Graf-Adolf-Straße 36, making it easily accessible for all visitors. Whether you are a local or a tourist, this exhibition promises to provide valuable insights into the history and culture of Lünen during the 1920s. So, mark your calendars for September 28, 2025, and join us in exploring Lünen's golden age.
