Museum Hofmannsche Sammlung Kohren-Sahlis

The museum is located in an old town house on the Kohrener Markt. It goes back to the collection of Rudolf Hofmann and his wife, the hand weaver Ursula. Both were very attached to their homeland and collected everything they thought was worth preserving, even against the spirit of the times. This resulted in a remarkable collection with a strong connection to Kohren-Sahlis and the Kohrener Land, including farmhouse furniture, Biedermeier rooms, tin, toys, old Kohren ceramics, textiles, photos, looms and much more. A particularly noteworthy feature is an original salt cabinet. In order to preserve the collection (there was a risk of expropriation), the couple donated the house and everything in it to the district council in 1983.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the building and collection were transferred to Kohren-Sahlis. The condition was that they be restored to a museum-like state. The museum opened in the rear building in 1999, while Ursula Hofmann was still alive. Since her death in 2001, it has been continuously expanded.

Changing cabinet exhibitions are held every year under the title "From Rudl's Drawers...". In collaboration with the Kohrener History Association, lectures on various topics are held. Small weddings (up to 10 people) can be held in the museum all year round; appointments can be made through the Frohburg registry office.
