A land tells its own story

The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through time from the 1830s through industrialization to the present. The focus is on the people whose work has shaped the land: families, crafts, industry, research, tourism, and modern living environments. This creates a dense event experience with strong regional ties and high content depth. ([en.visitmosel.de](https://en.visitmosel.de/cities-culture/event/schaffensland-menschen-geschichten-arbeit))

Stories that go under the skin

Especially impressive is the look at difficult chapters in history, including the persecution of Jewish families during the Nazi era. At the same time, the exhibition shows how Rhineland-Palatinate has developed economically and socially. This makes Schaffensland more than just a classic permanent exhibition: Here, knowledge transfer is combined with atmosphere, memory, and perspective.
