Old school Krakow am See

Experience tradition in the "Old School", which was extensively renovated in 1998 and houses the library, local history room and the book printing museum. The building, which dates back to 1869, now offers a wide range of cultural activities over two floors.

In addition to a large selection of books, music, audio CDs, PC games for children and DVDs for all age groups, the town library also has an Internet corner.

You can experience what life and living was like in grandmother's time in the Heimatstube.

The heart of the museum, however, is the book printing museum with workshop on the ground floor of the building, run by printer and museum director Hans-Hilmar Koch.

The Museum of Letterpress Printing preserves the important cultural achievement of BOOK PRINTING in the form of a reconstructed printing press from the early 20th century. The extraordinary thing about the only museum of its kind in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is that printed matter is still produced using this process. A large part of the old printing technology comes from the former Bontemps printing works in Krakow.
