City MuseumSchwab writes:In the rooms of the former Spiegel'schen Curia is housed the municipal museum, which I now wander through, the view turned to the collections, which have found a worthy home here in colorful diversity. [..] Paintings and church utensils form the contents of the seventh room; in addition, a collection of pewter mugs, jugs, cups, plates, Meissen porcelain as well as objects of gold and silver in rich work; a large cup of the burial brotherhood of the Jewish community from the beginning of the eighteenth century with the engraved names of members and the Hilarius cup are the most valuable pieces among them.The cup of the burial brotherhood in the 7th room has disappeared. At the moment it is impossible to say when it was removed from the exhibition. It is unknown what happened to him.HeineanumSchwab writes:Next to the municipal museum, a side building houses the Museum Heineanum, the bird collection of the late Oberamtsmanns Heine, which is considered the largest private collection in Germany; it includes 7000 stuffed specimens and 5000 in bellows, and a walk through the rows of birds displayed in glass cases is very rewarding for the layman, but extremely valuable for the expert. The winged messengers of all zones, from primeval forests and rocky cliffs, from palm groves and glacial peaks, from the surging sea and the silent plain, and finally from our forests and gardens - they are all gathered here for the great parade.
