Freimaurermuseum St. Michaelisdonn

About the museum

The Freemasonry museum of the Große Landesloge der Freimaurer von Deutschland (Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Germany) is on the upper floor of the old school in St. Michaelisdonn, between Brunsbüttel and Heide. According to the order, it is one of the three largest Freemasonry museums in Europe.

More than 6,000 exhibits on the rituals and customs of the lodges are displayed across 350 square meters: lodge gavels, aprons, office and lodge insignia, goblets and the decorated drinking vessels known as "Kanonen" (cannons), as well as old documents, copperplate engravings, prints, memorial writings and portraits of prominent Freemasons. One room is devoted to objects from foreign lodges, mainly from America and England.

The display gives an overview of the cultural history of Freemasonry in Germany over more than 250 years. It is aimed at Freemasons as well as outsiders who want a first look.
