Panorama Museum Bad Frankenhausen

The landmark of Bad Frankenhausen was structurally completed in 1975. The residents immediately took it into their hearts and affectionately named it the “elephant toilet”.After stretching the approximately 1.1 t canvas, a Soviet team of specialists gave the canvas a primer using an old Russian secret recipe.Tübke now began to paint the interior. It took him around 11 years (1976 - 1987). The picture is quite large at 1722 m² and has no beginning or end or left or right.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauernkriegspanorama

You can already see the museum from below, parking spaces above are available but subject to a charge. The spectacular thing about this museum is the 360-degree picture by Werner Tübke, which is shown in the round building. An art exhibition can usually be seen at the same time.

Bad Frankenhausen - it is difficult to write the right lines for it. We were impressed by Tübke's complete artistic oeuvre. We definitely recommend the audio guide so that you can even begin to understand and understand the dimensions of the work.

8,000 insurgents have gathered to fight for justice and freedom, advised and led by Thomas Müntzer (around 1489-1525), who called for war against the lords with powerful language.
