Event Highlights

Strong together: Forging alliances’ is the title of this year's annual conference. Together with the Oberharzer Bergwerksmuseum and the Stiftung Welterbe im Harz, the Museumsverband Niedersachsen und Bremen e.V. cordially invites you to the Aula Academica of Clausthal University of Technology from 9 - 11 March 2025. 

In times of growing challenges, cooperation and joint solutions are more important than ever. The annual conference therefore aims to provide impetus for future-oriented, well-networked museum work. To this end, we will be discussing emergency alliances, cooperation in the areas of collections, research, exhibitions, tourism, cultural education and cooperation in rural areas. Practical strategies and the exchange of personal experiences will take centre stage. 

You can look forward to inspiring presentations, dialogue with colleagues and lively discussions.

Much of what happens in a museum usually remains hidden from visitors. This is of course also the case at a former mining site such as the Rammelsberg. On this guided tour, some doors and rooms are opened that are otherwise far away from normal visitor traffic. Museum guests will learn anecdotes and stories about the work processes that take place behind the scenes of an exhibition.
 
Guided tour times: 25.01. + 01.02., 11 a.m. each day
Cost: 21,- €

Kitted out with a mining lamp and protective equipment you will enter the underground world of mediaeval mining. Everywhere in the Rathstiefste Stollen there is evidence of mining activity from the 12th century (or even older). You will find out how the miners must have felt in this place hundreds of years ago. At the end you will be rewarded with a hearty miner's "Tscherper" meal. Are you ready for an adventure in the oldest accessible water drainage gallery in the world?

The running event at the Rammelsberg mine in Goslar takes place every year in August. Runners and (Nordic) walkers can take up the challenge of participating in the Steiger, Hauer, Schlepper or KnappenLAUF as well as the KupferWALK, SilberWALK, ObersteigerLAUF or BergmannTRAIL. The routes are characterised by a challenging ascent with gradients of up to 30% in some sections. All active participants can enjoy the densely wooded nature of the Harz Mountains, catch a magnificent view of the medieval imperial city of Goslar and be close to the slate slopes of the mountain, whose silver veins have shaped the history of this city so much. The start and finish are located on the works road of the Rammelsberg World Heritage Site mine. This gives the Steigerlauf a unique flavour and leaves you with a very special experience that even goes underground with the BergmannTRAIL.

For more information and to register, visit the website of the organiser TSG Jerstedt 1888.

Over 1,000 years of mining history in your focus!

On the unique underground photo walk, you will be accompanied by a professional photographer who will be by your side with tips and tricks for your best snapshot. In a historically authentic setting, you are at the workplaces of the former Rammelsberg miners on site. Machinery, colorful vitrioles and hidden details - focus on your favorite place! Recommended equipment: tripod, flashlight (strong light if possible) and flashlight.

Time: 2pm - 5pm
Price: €45.00 including tips from the professional photographer.
