Museum im Marstall – Annual Exhibition Winsen 2026

A Mobility Exhibition in the Historic Marstall

The Museum im Marstall Winsen is housed in the historic Marstall, the former stable building of Winsen Castle. The name of the building itself refers to the old history of horse-drawn carriage mobility. With its 2026 annual exhibition, the museum bridges the gap from this tradition to today's electric mobility.

From April 25 to October 11, 2026

The exhibition runs for six months and can be visited during regular museum opening hours. It falls within the period of the Harburg District Cultural Summer, which has awarded the exhibition as one of the 10 Cultural Summer Prize projects.

From Horse-drawn Carriages to E-Mobility

The title outlines the thematic spectrum: horse-drawn carriages, stagecoaches, early automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, buses, modern cars, and finally electric vehicles of the present day. The exhibition not only showcases the vehicles but also the social and economic history of mobility in the region.

Connection to the Harburg District

A special focus is placed on the mobility history of the Harburg district. The region between Hamburg, Lüneburg Heath, and Bremen is characterized by important transport routes – motorways A1, A7, A39, and the Hamburg-Bremen and Hamburg-Hannover railway lines. Historic stagecoach routes, the construction of railways, the rise of the automobile, and today's discussion about the transport transition are all locally situated.

Cultural Summer Prize 2026

The award of the 2026 Cultural Summer Prize underscores the exhibition's significance for the cultural landscape of the district. With the motto 'New Paths' of the Cultural Summer, the exhibition title directly aligns: the transport transition and electric mobility are literally new paths of mobility.
