MUSEUM DES MONATS | JANUAR 2023

Vom Kulturministerium ausgezeichnet:
Blüchermuseum der Stadt Kaub

In der Neujahrsnacht 1813/14 überquerte Gerhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742-1819), preußischer Feldmarschall und Befehlshaber der schlesischen Armee, mit seinen Truppen bei Kaub den Rhein und leitete mit seinem Sieg über die französischen Truppen das Ende der napoleonischen Herrschaft über Deutschland ein.

Das Blüchermuseum der Stadt Kaub befindet sich im damaligen Hauptquartier Blüchers, dem ehemaligen Gasthaus „Zur Stadt Mannheim“, einem schönen 1780 errichteten Barockbau. Von hier aus befahl Blücher den Bau der legendären Pontonbrücke, auf der innerhalb von nur fünf Tagen rund 50.000 Soldaten, 15.000 Pferde und 182 Kanonen der Schlesischen Armee den Rhein überquerten.

Fatal days on the Rhine - Tracing the trail in Kaub

Discover Rhein-Lahn

The WFG Rhein-Lahn (Wirtschaftsförderungs-Gesellschaft Rhein-Lahn) published a video about our Blüchermuseum.

From the Youtube channel of WFG Rhein-Lahn:

"Discover Rhine-Lahn" is the name of the series of programmes which the Rhine-Lahn Economic Development Corporation has created together with "WWTV / TV Mittelrhein". Since 30 June 2011, the two regional television channels have been regularly broadcasting around three-minute film reports on Tuesdays and Thursdays about sights worth seeing from the economy, tourism and leisure in the Rhine-Lahn district. What distinguishes the Rhein-Lahn-Kreis? A collection of more than 680 film contributions to date - which is unique for the districts and towns in Rhineland-Palatinate - provides the answer to this question.

The former inn to the city of Mannheim in the small town of Kaub was once the headquarters of Field Marshal von Blücher. Since 1913, the memory of this time has been preserved in the rooms. A very special exhibit of the museum are the hand-painted wallpapers in the former living quarters.
