Haus Schlesien is much more than just a restaurant and hotel – as mentioned above in the highlight title. In addition to the culinary aspect, what is particularly recommended for a visit is the museum of the cultural center, which, in addition to the permanent exhibition, also offers new temporary exhibitions with a focus on Silesian culture and history as well as expulsion, for example traditionally a nativity scene exhibition in the winter months of December and January.

An important task of the “Haus Schlesien” cultural center, which has been located in the Siebengebirge for five decades, is to keep the culture that has been handed down from there alive. An essential aspect of cultural and religious life in winter was and is the Christmas nativity scene set up in the so-called “parlor”. Haus Schlesien has its own collection, which is of course presented to visitors at Christmas time - like the entire museum, admission is free and donations are welcome.

"In terms of its diversity in terms of material, age, value and origin, the nativity scene collection represents the collection as a whole relatively well and thus also tells a piece of the history of the museum, which has existed since the mid-1980s. In addition to the folk carved wooden nativity scenes with individual figures, there are... You can see box nativity scenes made in some regions of Silesia, but also very simple paper nativity scenes or the Silesian Christmas scepters known in the region around Goldberg.
