„Let There Be Light!” is the exhibition at the Gärtner- und Häckermuseum Bamberg, which deals with early electrification and its effects on everyday life. Original objects are central to the exhibit, making technical developments vivid and allowing for immediate access to local history.
History of Technology in Historical Context
The exhibition connects Bamberg's local history with the question of how electricity changed people's lives. The introduction of electric lighting was not only a technical advancement but also shaped daily routines, households, and the perception of one’s surroundings. The displayed original objects make this development tangible.
Visitors gain insights into a time when new technical possibilities gradually became part of daily life. The focus is not solely on technology. Equally important is the question of what significance electrification had for daily life in Bamberg and how historical changes are reflected in concrete objects.
Discover Local History
The Gärtner- und Häckermuseum provides a special setting for this theme. The historical atmosphere supports the perspective on past life worlds and makes the exhibition a connection of cultural history, history of technology, and local remembrance. Original objects invite viewers to observe known developments from a vivid perspective.
The exhibition is aimed at everyone interested in Bamberg’s history, technical innovations, and the transformation of everyday life. It is suitable for a quiet museum visit as well as for a conscious engagement with the question of how significantly technological changes influence the life of a city and its residents.
