Homeland Check 2025 for "Historical Photo Album at the Deichdorf Museum"
A new 'Historical Photo Panorama' has been unveiled at the Bislich Dike Village Museum. The outdoor installation features large-format images from the museum’s archives, offering a glimpse into Bislich’s history. The project was officially opened on December 4, 2025, by local leaders and museum staff.
The courtyard of the museum now displays a series of high-resolution photographs, each paired with bilingual captions in German and English. Alongside the images, a large map traces the changing course of the Rhine over time.
The installation was led by Wilhelm Kock, a board member who oversaw the museum’s construction team in delivering and mounting the panels. Association chairman Klaus Droste, deputy Wilhelm Kock, and museum director Dr. Barbara Rinn-Kupka jointly unveiled the project. Funding for the €2,500 initiative came largely from the Heritage Grant, provided by the Ministry for Homeland, Municipal Affairs, Building, and Digitalization. The grant covered €2,000 of the total cost, with additional support from local volunteers. Mayor Rainer Benien commended the project, highlighting its role in preserving local heritage and strengthening community ties.
The 'Historical Photo Panorama' is now open to visitors. It combines archival images, a detailed Rhine map, and bilingual descriptions to showcase Bislich’s past. The project was made possible through public funding, volunteer efforts, and the work of the museum’s team.
