Discover Sports History: Interactive Museum Rally at the City Museum Erfurt
During the autumn holidays, the City Museum Erfurt invites children and teenagers to an interactive rally tour through the special exhibition "Love – Performance – Passion. Sport City Erfurt". Together with museum educator Stephan Oettel, participants will embark on a dynamic journey through the sports history of the Thuringian state capital on October 22, 2026.
Quiz, Movement, and Historical Discoveries
The event combines cultural education with playful engagement. Athletes, stadiums, clubs, and extraordinary achievements are at the center of attention. A quiz guides participants through the exhibition and challenges not only historical knowledge but also personal athletic skills.
Erfurt's Sport City Between Club, Society, and Performance
The special exhibition traces the development of sports from the bourgeois and workers' milieu of the late 19th century to the organized competitive sports of the GDR. It highlights sports clubs, urban development, and societal changes as well as the international significance of Erfurt swimmers, runners, cyclists, and speed skaters.
Interactive Stations for Young Museum Guests
The rally transforms the exhibition into an active art experience in the historic museum. At interactive stations, participants answer questions about selected objects and sports history topics. The exhibition atmosphere connects original artifacts, historical photographs, and engaging communication into a lively aesthetic experience. Successful sports participants will receive a certificate.
A Holiday Workshop with Stephan Oettel
Stephan Oettel accompanies the tour as a museum educator and presents the content age-appropriately. The workshop is aimed at children and teenagers aged 9 to 15. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 15 people, and registration with the City Museum is required.
Conclusion: Sports History Becomes a Personal Experience
The holiday workshop provides young visitors with direct access to history, exhibitions, and cultural education. Those who want to not only observe Erfurt's sports world but also explore it playfully and actively will experience a varied morning full of movement, knowledge, and discovery at the City Museum.
