Kiekeberg Museum unveils new area named "Hans Joachim Röhrs Platz" in ceremonial inauguration

In the heart of the district of Harburg lies the Kiekeberg Open-Air Museum, a historical gem that has been a staple for visitors since its establishment in an unspecified year. Over the decades, the museum has undergone significant development, much of which can be attributed to the long-serving chairperson, Röhrs.

Röhrs' tenure as chairman of the open-air museum's development spanned over a decade, a period marked by his early commitment to inclusion. His focus on ensuring the museum was accessible to people with disabilities was evident from the museum's inception.

One of Röhrs' most notable achievements was the transfer of the museum from Hamburg to Harburg in 1987. This move marked a new chapter in the museum's history, setting the stage for its growth and development under his leadership.

In 1989, Röhrs founded the support association of the open-air museum at Kiekeberg. Initially composed of nine members, the association played a crucial role in the museum's ongoing development and maintenance.

Despite extensive research, the name of the district administrator who played a pivotal role in the founding of the support association and the establishment of the Freiluftmuseum Kiekeberg in 1989 remains undisclosed. However, their efforts towards the inclusion of disabled people are documented in the museum's concept, a testament to their vision and commitment.

Under Röhrs' leadership, the open-air museum at Kiekeberg flourished. His dedication to the museum's development is reflected in its permanent concept, which continues to honour his commitment to inclusion. The exact date of Röhrs' departure as chairman is not provided, but his legacy at the Kiekeberg Open-Air Museum continues to inspire and educate visitors to this day.
