Special Exhibition: 80 Years Against Forgetting – The Sinsheim City Museum Through the Ages

On July 27, 1946, Georg Zink, a former librarian from Heidelberg, opened the doors to the local history collection at Sinsheim City Hall for the first time. Since then, the museum has grown significantly, moved four times, and reinvented itself several times over the decades. Always by its side: the Friends of Sinsheim History, without whom the collection would never have existed. To mark the 80th anniversary, a small special exhibition in the Bürgersaal of the Old Town Hall will run from July 4 to September 13, 2026, shedding light on the eventful history of the city museum—from its humble beginnings in the postwar period to the digital age—while also exploring how the people of Sinsheim have engaged with their own history. The exhibition will open with a lecture on the topic on July 4, 2026, and will conclude with a joint anniversary celebration by the Historical Society and the Museum on the weekend of September 12–13, 2026.
