The exhibition shows what development the Coburger Land took during its belonging to Bavaria. First stations are dedicated to the period of the Weimar Republic and National Socialism. One focus is on the period after World War II. Although the inner German border is clamped on three sides, Coburg developed positively after 1945. Agriculture and industry modernized, tourism and large construction projects changed the cityscape. Through the municipal territorial reform and the regular celebrations to merge with Bavaria, Coburg continued to grow into Bavaria. Finally, the German unit changed the political map fundamentally in 1989/90 and opened a number of new possibilities for Coburg.
