For the Long Night of Museums, we are offering you a colourful, wide-ranging programme at the Museum Knoblauchhaus covering the period from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 to the revolution of 1848/49. During guided tours of the exhibition or a riddle game for the whole family, you will also learn background information and stories about the historic Knoblauchhaus, one of Berlin’s last Biedermeier town houses. Join us and discover history and music!
Programme
6 p.m. – 1 a.m. | Guided tour
History up close!
Our staff members Carolin Haas and Annabelle Schmidt will guide you through the past of the Knoblauch family in the roles and clothing of historical figures. Let yourself be enchanted by lively presentations and stories, complemented by a reading from historical family documents.
6 p.m.- 2 a.m. | Family
Riddles for children & families
Eight exciting riddles invite young and old to explore a flat from the Biedermeier period together. Whoever guesses everything will know how the Knoblauch family made their fortune.
6:30 p.m. | Short guided tour
How did the Knoblauch family live?
The guided tour with museum curator Dr Jan Mende offers an insight into the life of the Knoblauch family. And it shows that the Biedermeier period was not so ‚bieder‘ (bland) after all. To round off the tour, a historical flute clock plays the overture to the opera ‘Fanchon’ by Friedrich Heinrich Himmel.
7 p.m. + 9 p.m. + 11 p.m. | Music
Duo Fagöttlich: The women with the bassoon
Ulrike Buhlmann and Stefanie Hupperich play a programme on the theme of love with their instruments. They perform arias and songs from the Baroque to the present day, from Scottish love songs to Argentinean tango.
10:30 p.m. | Short guided tour
Happy return, Schiller!
For around 150 years, a bust of Friedrich Schiller stood in the library of the Knoblauchhaus. The original was lost at the end of the war in 1945, but in recent months the plaster moulding workshop of the National Museums in Berlin has produced a replica. Now Schiller is back where he belongs!
midnight | Short guided tour
Bedtime with Alexander von Humboldt: Quiet places and bedtime stories
Why is the universal scholar’s bed in the Museum Knoblauchhaus? Museum curator Dr Jan Mende introduces his favourite object. You will find out how people made a good bed in the Biedermeier period and how another versatile piece of furniture elegantly concealed the daily need to go to the toilet.
A co-operation with the Berlin Museums and Kulturprojekte Berlin
