100 years ago, on May 31, 1925, the "Local Museum of the Bürener District" and a youth hostel were opened in Wewelsburg. Until the beginning of the National Socialist rule in 1933, Wewelsburg was a cultural center of the Paderborn region. Its history in the 1920s and early 1930s was linked to the development of the first democratic state in Germany, the Weimar Republic (1919 – 1933).
How did the people in the surrounding villages and towns of the then Bürén and Paderborn districts experience the period between the end of the German Empire in 1918 and the beginning of the Nazi dictatorship in 1933? The exhibition highlights the political, economic, social, and cultural situation in the Paderborn region during a period that has yet to be thoroughly researched regionally.
