Headstrong, wild and rebellious: The Little Witch enchants the Historical Museum Bielefeld

At the Historical Museum Bielefeld, The Little Witch opens an interactive exhibition that transforms Otfried Preußler's children's book classic into a lively, poetic experience. Between the witch's house, raven cleverness, and the dream of good magic, a stage experience of a special kind is created – sensual, playful and full of imagination.

A story that has shone for generations

Otfried Preußler's narrative marks a turning point in children's literature: moving away from the evil witch figure, towards a self-confident heroine seeking her own path. This is precisely where the exhibition derives its strength. The little witch, Abraxas, the strict head witch, and the grumbling Aunt Rumpumpel form a character ensemble that still evokes a strong audience reaction – not only from children but also from adults who remember the magical precision of this story.

Get involved, discover, immerse yourself

The exhibition emphasizes direct experience: children and families can relive adventures, ride brooms, perform good deeds, and face the witch council. The exhibition experience is brought to life by a clear dramaturgy, where movement, play, and observation intertwine. Thus, the museum hall becomes a place where a theatrical atmosphere emerges, without leaving the boundaries of a museum.

A house full of imagination and accessibility

The Historical Museum Bielefeld presents itself as an open house with barrier-free access, an elevator, free cloakroom, and family-friendly infrastructure. The museum context gives the exhibition additional depth: here, education, cultural mediation, and children's imagination meet at eye level. Those who want to experience the magic of the literary classic live will find an excursion full of visual power, warmth, and curiosity.

Conclusion: An exhibition visit that resonates long afterwards

Headstrong, wild and rebellious unfolds a magical mix of literature, interactive format, and cultural mediation at the Historical Museum Bielefeld. Families, witch fans, and the curious will experience an exhibition that playfully touches and is also cleverly staged. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to not only observe magic but enter it.
