The Hamburg Museum, also known as ("Museum for Hamburg History"), is a history museum located in the city of Hamburg in northern Germany. The museum was established at its current location in 1922, although its parent organization was started in 1839. The museum was named ''hamburgmuseum'' in 2006. It is located near the park in the center of Hamburg. ==History== The Society of Hamburg History (''Verein für Hamburgische Geschichte''), founded in 1839, started compiling the Collection of Hamburg Antiquities (''Sammlung Hamburger Altertümer)''. First exhibits included architectural fragments of the demolished St. Mary's Cathedral and two monasteries. The main building at Holstenwall was designed by Fritz Schumacher and constructed between 1914 and 1922.〔 The museum was built on the site of the former Bastion Henricus, a part of the baroque fortification which was erected between 1616 and 1625 by the Dutchman Jan van Valckenborgh in order to make the town impregnable. The museum courtyard was damaged from the great fire in 1842 and fully restored in 1995. A glass dome over the inner courtyard was completed in 1989. The Hamburg Observatory occupied the area at the Museum from 1825 to 1912 before being moved to Bergedorf. The area was part of the old city wall defences built by the Dutchman Jan van Valckenborgh. These walls were part of ''Bastion Henricus'' which was a baroque fortification built between 1616 and 1625.〔(The Museum ), Hamburg Museum, accessed December 2011〕 The museum was formerly located at the ''Johanneum'' school. The museum became state-owned under the direction of Otto Lauffer, though this was changed back in 1999. The museum adopted the name ''hamburgmuseum'', and initials ''hm'', in 2006. In 2008 the museum runs a program called ' (''Society of friends of the museum of Hamburg history'').〔(Society of Friends of the Museum of Hamburg History ), hamburgmuseum, accessed December 2011〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamburg Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
