Welcome to the project Two Buildings – One History, a collaboration between the City History Museum of the Hanseatic City of Wismar, SCHABBELL and the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Museum of Technology, phanTECHNIKUM. This synergy combines two fascinating perspectives: the socio-cultural and historical story of the Hanseatic City of Wismar in SCHABBELL and the story of technology and industry in phanTECHNIKUM. By combining these facets, we offer our guests an unforgettable experience that provides insights into the past, present and future. The fusion of city history, biographies and technical history using original exhibits enables us to convey a comprehensive understanding of the development of our society and our city.

At the core of this collaboration is the diversity of perspectives it offers. By examining a topic from different angles, visitors can develop a deeper appreciation of its meaning and impact. Whether the subject is industrialization, digitalization or social movements, our exhibitions provide multifaceted representations that make it possible to understand and appreciate complex interrelationships.
