Electric Museum Rendsburg
At the Electric Museum in Rendsburg you will find exciting insights into the beginnings of electrification.
The former administrative building of Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG (SH Netz) houses numerous rarities, including the electric razor donated to the museum by the "singing actor" Hans Albers after his visit in 1948. You can also admire an internally illuminated darning egg, which German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer invented but - as has often been rumored - did not patent. The range of exhibits is wide: In addition to the world's smallest tube radio at the time, the "Knirps" by Wobbe, or a power plug carved out of wood by the museum's own hands, one also discovers a bowler hat. The exhibition, which was conceived by the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, is dedicated to both the technical changes and the social impact of Art Nouveau. In living rooms, music rooms and children's rooms lovingly furnished with exhibits from the period, as well as in the laundry and the master's room, one can experience Art Nouveau in all its facets. Not only the permanent exhibition is worth a visit, but also the building itself, erected in 1920, is impressive. The imposing brick building was designed by architect and master builder Fritz Höger († 1949). The Schleswig-Holstein native is considered one of the leading representatives of North German brick expressionism.
