The Million Room and Other Rarities

The Million Room and Other Rarities

The former living quarters of Gustav Adolf Spengler are furnished true to the original - the impression is created that the master of the house could walk in the door at any time. In addition to ordinary furniture of his time, one finds a large number of historical collectors' items and self-made carvings and models. Spengler's library is the "Millionenzimmer": after the inflation, he wallpapered the room with large banknotes that had become worthless.
An enchanted-looking inner courtyard tempts you to take a contemplative rest in the greenery in summer.
Spengler's often praised museum, rich in original finds and vivid in structure and design, was integrated into the permanent exhibition of the modern Spengler Museum in 1952. Some objects and some old models, charming in terms of craftsmanship and vividness, have remained in the Spengler House and convey a picture of how Gustav Adolf Spengler had his museum created.
A large laundry roll weighted down with stones - built by Spengler's father and operated by Spengler's mother as a sideline - illustrates how laborious housework once was. Spengler's daughter Anna was a master milliner and also had her hat shop in the Spengler house.
