The expansion of the German-German Museum in the village of Mödlareuth on the Bavarian-Thuringian border is progressing. The shell and timber construction work on the new museum building is almost complete, said a spokeswoman for the Hof district administration. Roofing and plumbing work is currently being carried out, building services and power lines are being installed and pipes for water and sewage are being laid.
The new building is the second construction phase of the expansion of the museum on the former border between West Germany and East Germany. The redesign of the outdoor area was already completed in 2023. "The construction work is still on schedule, so we expect it to open next year," said the spokesperson for the district authority.
