The Museum of Regional History of the Association for Regional History in the municipality of Scharbeutz in Pönitz documents the history of the southern Wagrien region between Lübeck and Neustadt in Holstein. Historical and ethnological artefacts from this region from the Middle Stone Age (5000 BC) to the present day are collected, preserved, restored and presented and you will find evidence from past eras of village cultural history, finds from prehistoric and early historical settlement sites, the history of spa tourism and spa architecture through to the war and post-war period.

In addition to the permanent exhibition, it regularly organises special exhibitions on historical themes. There is also an archive and an extensive library on the top floor of the museum.
Events and lectures take place in the lecture theatre. The association was awarded the 2017 Ostholstein District Culture Prize.

Regular tours

Visits for groups and school classes can be arranged by email at museum@museum-scharbeutz.de.
All of the museum's exhibition rooms are at ground level and therefore wheelchair users are very welcome. Only the archive, the library and the event hall are located on the first floor, which is only accessible via stairs.

The museum is run and managed on a voluntary basis.
The museum is run by the Verein für Regionalgeschichte der Gemeinde Scharbeutz und Umgebung e.V. (Association for Regional History of the Municipality of Scharbeutz and Surroundings).
