About

The moment you enter Dr. Wolf’s Wunderkammer, in the small town of Hann. Münden, you are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of objects contained within. You simply don’t know where to look first. A basilisk stares at you ominously from one corner while a wardrobe hides a hidden entrance to another realm and the glow of uranium glass beckons you from across the room.

Created in 2020, this chamber of wonders was created with the purpose of collecting and displaying curiosities of old, taking visitors to different times and worlds. Here, you can behold wall upon wall showcasing horned fishes, ornate carvings, obscure maps, and more, all while enjoying the charisma and enthusiasm of Dr. Wolf himself.
