Welcome
to the Regional LandMuseum for History, Archaeology, and Everyday Culture in Solling
FOREST│GLASS│VILLAGE - Inside.Outside.Digital
Nestled in an "oasis of tranquility" in the southern Lower Saxony highlands, the Historical Museum Hellental serves as an attractive regional LandMuseum with cultural history themes FOREST│GLASS│VILLAGE. It is the central cultural institution surrounding the picturesque mountain village of Hellental – not far from the Amelungsborn monastery.
The LandMuseum is located in the northern Solling, a gentle mountain range whose landscape has been widely utilized as a resource, forming a historically developed landscape image.
Stage 6 of the Weserbergland Trail (XW) passes through the Solling Valley and the mountain village of Hellental.
The pre-industrial workers´ village is an early example of state housing construction in the mid-18th century, linked to the economic-political trade policies under Duke Carl I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (reigned 1735-1780).
The volunteer-run LandMuseum provides regional cultural services in the district of Holzminden.
Following its mission, the LandMuseum seeks and collects, remembers and preserves, researches and communicates important cultural traces of past developments in the surroundings of the "Old Valley of Glassmakers".
From the Middle Ages to the second half of the 18th century, a resource-rich high-tech area for the production of forest glass, Hellental today is a unique biological diverse meadow valley in the Solling-Vogler Nature Park.
Recalling an open-air museum with walk-through history, the cultural institution has developed into a museum that is TRULY GOOD - inside │ outside │ digital.
We regard our LandMuseum as a place of culture and freedom-oriented democracy.
If you want to get to know Hellental and the unique open grassland valley better, you should start your discovery tour at the LandMuseum with an on-site visit or online and virtually on the museum portal.
We wish you a pleasant museum visit and an inspiring cultural-historical journey - both analog and digital!
