FORTE CULTURA Station: Museum 1870-1945 Alsace (FR)
Musée Mémorial des Combats et de la Libération en Alsace du Nord (Musée 2 MCLADN)
The Musée Mémorial des Combats et de la Libération en Alsace du Nord (Musée 2 MCLADN) in Walbourg in northern Alsace has been open since May 2020. The former monastery complex now houses a school, also known as the burial site of the parents of Emperor Barbarossa.
The museum is dedicated to Northern Alsace from 1870 to 1945. This eventful period is presented with 3,500 artefacts in an exhibition area of over 460 m². The dioramas speak for themselves. A school class in Alsace, which was to be "re-Germanised" from 1940, and the conscription of a young "Malgré-Nous" (forced recruit) are depicted.
It all ends in the horror of January 1945, when the NORDWIND company once again covered northern Alsace with war. Smells and sounds complement the dioramas and appeal to all the senses. With 69 films, the library makes history not only readable, but also visible
The 2MCLADN museum is part of the Franco-German Regional Network Fortresses and Defence History on the Upper Rhine 1870-1999.
