About Marstall Annual Exhibition 2026

The annual exhibition of the Museum im Marstall Winsen in 2026 is titled 'From Horse-drawn Carriages to E-Mobility' and is part of the 2026 Cultural Summer Prize of the Harburg district. From Saturday, April 25 to Sunday, October 11, 2026, the museum will showcase a comprehensive exhibition on the history of mobility – from traditional horse-drawn carriages, to the first automobiles and motorcycles, up to modern electric mobility of the present day. The exhibition combines historical exhibits from the Marstall Museum's collection with current topics of the transport transition and climate discussion. It presents the mobility history in the Harburg district, a region between the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, motorways, and the Lüneburg Heath, whose transport development is exemplary for many North German regions. Admission with a valid museum ticket.

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.

Marstall Annual Exhibition 2026 — edition 2026

From Saturday, April 25 to Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Museum im Marstall Winsen will present its annual exhibition 'From Horse-drawn Carriages to E-Mobility'. The show spans a historical arc from pre-motorized mobility with horses and stagecoaches, through the beginnings of the automobile and mass motorization, to contemporary electric mobility. It connects to the Harburg district, whose transport history is illustratively told through motorways, railway lines, and heath tourism. The exhibition has been awarded the 2026 Cultural Summer Prize and is part of the half-year program of the 16th Harburg District Cultural Summer under the motto 'New Paths'. Admission with a valid museum ticket. The exact accompanying program with guided tours and lectures will be published by the museum in spring.

The 2026 edition combines the historical collection of the Marstall Museum with a current topic of high social relevance. Electric mobility is one of the defining themes of the mobility transition – how does it fit into the centuries-long history of mobility?

The award as a 2026 Cultural Summer Prize project underscores the exhibition's importance for the regional cultural landscape.
