Museum Alte Lateinschule
Großenhain city museum in the Baroque Alte Lateinschule (Old Latin School): city history from its founding to the garrison, with a city model and school detention cell.
Om museet
A schoolmaster is documented at Kirchplatz 4 as early as 1342. After the city fire of 1540, the town school was rebuilt in 1556, and it received its Baroque form after the fire of 1744. In 1828 Karl Benjamin Preusker and Emil Reiniger set up a book collection here that was open to everyone and is regarded as the first public library in Germany; in 1830 a Sunday school for apprentices and journeymen followed.
The local history museum was founded by Großenhain citizens in 1907 on the upper floor of the then commercial school. The collection then moved several times, was closed in 1944, and partly relocated. In 1952 a new start began in Großenhain Palace, in 1956 the museum returned to Kirchplatz, and in 1957 it opened as a district museum.
After 1990 the city took over the building and renovated it from 1991; in 1994 it was given the name Museum Alte Lateinschule. Between 1996 and 2003 the present permanent exhibition took shape step by step. It leads from the founding of the city around 1200 through the cloth-maker town to the airfield and garrison history of the 20th century. The holdings comprise about 80,000 objects, and a modernized storage facility has existed since 2011. The Städtische Museen also include the Bauernmuseum Zabeltitz (farm museum) and a historic classroom.
