A new perspective on Rhineland-Palatinate at the State Museum Koblenz

With Schaffensland – People. Stories. Work., an impressive exhibition experience opens in Koblenz, telling the transformation of everyday life, work, and living environments over approximately 200 years. The permanent exhibition at the Cultural Center Ehrenbreitstein Fortress combines original objects, spatial installations, and personal biographies into a dense picture of the history of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Stories that stay close to the people

The exhibition not only focuses on significant historical developments but also on the individual experiences behind them.

Media installations, staged rooms, and original pieces create an event feeling that is both informative and emotional. The bilingual communication in German and English further facilitates access.

Visit with comfort and good accessibility

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is largely barrier-free and offers barrier-free access, elevators, and restrooms. The Koblenz cable car and other accesses are also designed for a comfortable visit.
