A fresh experience
of history
The Lützen 1632 Museum was erected to commemorate the thousands of fallen soldiers. It showcases numerous historical artefacts, uses the mass grave exhibition – a memorial and anti-war monument in one – to sensitise visitors and documents the suffering and misery of the slain.
Plan your visit
The dead are no longer kept completely anonymous. The Lützen 1632 Museum is both a place of learning and a memorial. This is among the factors that make it so special.
