Museum exploring the German immigrant experience and history of Davenport and Iowa!

Open
This framed needlework sampler is one of many new objects on display in our permanent exhibition. This piece was brought with Christina Roes when she immigrated to Davenport. 

Framed Needlework Sampler - c. 1840
Christina (Dorric) Roes (1829-1905) created this sampler as a young girl in Mannheim, Germany. Samplers served as references for specific handiwork rather than written instructions. Christina, daughter of Mannheim's wealthy burgermeister, owned a hardware store with her husband Johann. Despite their prosperity in Germany, they moved to America after Christina's brother Yacob wrote home about the U.S. and “painted it with such glowing colors in his letters.” They wanted to spare their youngest sons from Germany's compulsory military training and the constant threat of war. War was always imminent, and Christina feared her sons would be killed in battle.

You can see this artifact up close and learn more about immigrant stories this weekend on our next seasonal guided tour of the museum. This Saturday November 8th, explore the museum with our education coordinator and get a deeper dive into the history of Davenport. The tour is open to the public and included with regular admission.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒 The tour begins at 11:00 am in the lobby. No RSVP required. The tour will last until approximately 12:30.

🇩🇪 Visitors will explore our permanent exhibition, The German Immigrant Experience, along with our two rotating galleries.

🧸 Open to all ages. We have children’s activity kits and sensory kits available at the front desk for visitors to use for free during their visit.

Artists tend to draw inspiration from things around them and use those themes in their artwork. During her life, Lea Grundig was inspired by emotional hardships and misery of the working class in Germany in the 20th Century. Lea devoted her life to art, focusing on the struggles of the working class and resisting the Nazi regime. 

She was shaped by her strict Orthodox Jewish upbringing and as she grew older, she resisted the traditional religious beliefs of her family. She wanted to study art, and attended the Decorative Arts and Crafts Academy in Dresden and went on to the prestigious Saxon Art Academy. 

Lea was devoted to pacifism and the anti-fascist resistance in Europe in the 1920s and for the rest of her life. Lea was also a member of ASSO (Assoziation revolutionärer bildender Künstler Deutschlands or Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists of Germany), an artist group from 1928 Germany tied to the Communist Party. They made bold posters and graphics to spread their message.

Through her activities, she met Hans Grundig, fellow artist and active member of the Communist Party in Germany. Their similar interests and partnership developed into a powerful relationship that withstood hardship, separation, and risks to their careers. The couple was separated by separate internments in prison camps, punished for their Jewish heritage and opposing the Nazi regime. After being released, Lea and Hans reunited in Dresden, after being separated for years. 

Learn more about Lea Grundig and her work in our exhibition, German Expressionist Prints from the Johnson Collection through December 14th. 

Pictured: Die Hexe (The Witch) 1935, etching
Through her artwork, Lea encourages viewers to think about how their beliefs impact children, urging them to consider the social environment around them. This print, “The Witch,” shows a group of children taunting an old woman as they follow her on a long path set against a dystopian landscape. This dark “fairytale” serves to illustrate the juxtaposition of childhood innocence with the darker undertones of societal issues.

👻 🎃 Happy Halloween! Today we want to share some interesting items from our collection...
For those with morbid curiosities or and interest in the macabre, these are some of the more eerie items we have in our collection:

1. This is a memorial hair weaving from the Victorian period. Memorial hair art was a trend in the 19th century to memorialize and have a keepsake from loved ones. This one was made in 1868 in Germany and belonged to the Kindig family who immigrated to Iowa from Germany in the 1880s.

2 & 3. This small hair curl was made from Marie Lueschen's hair. The following image is a photo of "Grandma Lueschen."

4. This necklace chain was made from human hair and includes a photo pendant. This belonged to the Becker family who lived in Scott County.

5 & 6. This news clipping refers to Henry Koltzau, a resident of Davenport who built his own casket. Henry was born in Germany in 1859 and immigrated to Iowa and worked as a cabinet maker and woodworker. He died in Davenport in 1936. The next photo is an image of his casket.

Do you have any morbid family heirlooms? 🎃🐦‍⬛👹🦇🕸️

As a museum and collection institution, we collect items related to German immigrants' lives in Scott County. If you have any family items or special history about your ancestors, inquire with the museum if you have a possible donation. Most of our collection is built on donations from local families, which helps preserve the early history of Davenport and Scott County. 🏛️
