Why this is so? And at what point have the paths turned into roads? You can study such things in the historic armoury in Germersheim. At first glance, J\u00fcrgen Menge\u2019s place of work is so overwhelming that it is impossible to grasp it in its entirety. As part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/en\/the-peaceful-fortress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Germersheim fortress <\/a>built in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, the armoury is located on Zeughausstra\u00dfe, which is a road that was named after it. The front of the building alone measures no less than 73 metres\u2014adjoined by two wings, each a good 20 metres long. What once used to be a stockpile of weapons, military tools and war equipment now holds treasures of a very special kind behind walls, which are up to four metres thick: the German Road Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"BorlabsCookie _brlbs-cb-youtube\"><div class=\"_brlbs-content-blocker\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-embed _brlbs-video-youtube\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_brlbs-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/borlabs-cookie\/assets\/images\/cb-no-thumbnail.png\" alt=\"YouTube\"> <div class=\"_brlbs-caption\"> <p>Mit dem Laden des Videos akzeptieren Sie die Datenschutzerkl\u00e4rung von YouTube.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Mehr erfahren<\/a><\/p> <p><a class=\"_brlbs-btn _brlbs-icon-play-white\" href=\"#\" data-borlabs-cookie-unblock role=\"button\">Video laden<\/a><\/p> <p><label><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"unblockAll\" value=\"1\" checked> <small>YouTube immer entsperren<\/small><\/label><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div><div class=\"borlabs-hide\" data-borlabs-cookie-type=\"content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-id=\"youtube\"><script type=\"text\/template\">PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iRGV1dHNjaGVzIFN0cmHDn2VubXVzZXVtIiB3aWR0aD0iNTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjI4MSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9pWmhBd3NVQVUzRT9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlOyB3ZWItc2hhcmUiIHJlZmVycmVycG9saWN5PSJzdHJpY3Qtb3JpZ2luLXdoZW4tY3Jvc3Mtb3JpZ2luIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+<\/script><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption> Insights into the German Road Museum.  <em>Filmed by the Bezirksverband Pfalz.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While numerous museums in the land of designers and engineers are dedicated to trams, shipping and, of course, the automobile, the foundations were missing for a long time\u2014in the proper sense of the word. Germersheim is home to the only museum dedicated to road construction and everything that goes with it. It is unique not only in Germany, but even in Europe. If you want to explore another museum of this kind you have to travel as far as Lillehammer, for example. This town is home to the Norwegian edition of the road museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_052.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>  From the Ministry for Transport to the Road Museum: Chairman J\u00fcrgen Menge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foundation stone for the museum on road construction in Germersheim was laid in 1989 by road construction and traffic engineers who founded the Road Museum Rhineland-Palatinate sponsoring association, paving the way for the collection. The museum opened in October 1990. J\u00fcrgen Menge has been chairman since 2021. He wants to put the German Road Museum literally on the right track towards the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you walk through the exhibition, your feet step on worn stones and creaking wooden floorboards. The host knows these grounds inside out. He has been a member of the museum for 30 years, as he explains, and on the board for about 20 years. Until his retirement, he worked as an advisor in the Ministry for Economy, Transport, Agriculture and Viniculture. \u201cRoads have shaped my whole professional life,\u201d he says with a smile. Moving from an engineer to a museum director was an obvious step then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Roads have shaped my whole professional life<\/p><cite>J\u00fcrgen Menge<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe illustrate connecting contexts here,\u201d J\u00fcrgen says as he wanders through the rooms. For example, how even the ancient Romans laid out their extensive road network with a kind of cobblestone pavement\u2014with Rome as the starting point. And that dust in Monte Carlo led to the discovery of the tarred road. Or that recycling plays a major role in the construction of motorways. But the exhibits go back much further on the timeline of mankind. An ancient Germanic plank path, for example, has survived some 2,800 years, well preserved in an Osnabr\u00fcck moor. Europe\u2019s first long-distance trade routes once led along such wooden paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_025.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption> The ancient Germanic plank path, some 2,800 years old.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, volunteers guide visitors along these paths. They only receive an expense allowance for the museum tours they give. This also applies to many other people involved in this special museum, which thrives on a high level of commitment and a lot of creativity on the part of its members. To Berthold Best, for example. The professor for traffic route construction in Nuremberg supports the collection as scientific director. And J\u00fcrgen Menge also does his job entirely on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_128.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption> Heavy machines behind walls, which are up to four metres thick. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roads are a connecting element. Here in the museum, visitors can have an insight in their structure and what they are made of. In addition to the history of road construction and to engineering, the donations, loans and other collectibles also deal with the technological change. \u201cThe shift to digital electronics is, however, not only reflected in the museum,\u201d J\u00fcrgen explains. The association\u2019s board now also meets virtually. Since the Covid-19 era, the entrance area has been completely contactless. In future, the museum director would like to open up new topics and give more attention to bicycles and to traffic safety, in addition to electromobility. If you ask the traffic expert about his perspective on the future of the automobile, the keyword automation comes up. He has just bought the most expensive car of his life, as he says: an electric one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30709\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_036.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption> As an engineer J\u00fcrgen is particularly fascinated by bridges and tunnels. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s so much in the subject of roads that doesn\u2019t immediately reveal itself,\u201d J\u00fcrgen says. Strolling through the sandstone-coloured rooms, visitors can also learn something about landscape conservation, environmental protection and safety. Charts on the wall deal with topics that are surprising at first glance, such as religion\u2014roadside churches invite you to explore a cloistered life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30855\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_109.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption> Visitors can also learn something about landscape conservation, environmental protection &#8211; and safety.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an engineer J\u00fcrgen is particularly fascinated by bridges and tunnels. Imposing scaffolding and replicas guide visitors directly into the depths of a mountain. In the next room, various bridge constructions are explained. As an anecdote, visitors can learn why the Ambachtalbr\u00fccke bridge became famous (it served as a hiding place for a kidnapping) or that you can enjoy a magnificent view and yourself drinking a glass of wine on the Moseltalbr\u00fccke bridge. During the guided tour, J\u00fcrgen takes out his fountain pen enthusiastically drawing the principle of prestressed concrete on a piece of paper\u2014constructions you can touch and comprehend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_081.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_081-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_081-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_081-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_081-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_081.jpg 1350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The museum explains various bridge constructions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you ask him about his favourite piece in the museum, he has a hard time choosing. In the outdoor area, there are noise barriers and all kinds of vehicles to explore. And then there is one of the museum director\u2019s highlights: a steamroller, built in 1942, still in working order. At least after four hours. That\u2019s how long the colossal machine needs to fire up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Strassenmuseum_106.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption> A steamroller, built in 1942 and still in working order. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On track towards the future, J\u00fcrgen plans to make the museum grounds even more interactive\u2014for example, with a construction site for children to dig and discover and an area for ride-on cars. He has many ideas, and together with a specialist office, a completely new concept has been developed. \u201cThe implementation still has to be further professionalised,\u201d says the director. Has he already thought about when he will retire from his post? \u201cWhen the work is done,\u201d he answers. Maybe then J\u00fcrgen could go to Lillehammer in his electric car. He hasn\u2019t been there yet. Maybe later, one day, when he is really retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deutsches-strassenmuseum.de\">www.deutsches-strassenmuseum.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On more than 5,000 square metres of exhibition area, the German Road Museum in Germersheim tells road history\u2014from beaten tracks to motorways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1490],"tags":[122,207,1070,1661,1781,1782,1783,1784,1785],"class_list":["post-31230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-history","tag-metropolregion-rhein-neckar-en","tag-wo-sonst-en","tag-christian-buck-en","tag-anna-suckow-en","tag-markus-scherer-en-en-6","tag-strassenbaumuseum-en","tag-juergen-menge-en","tag-german-road-museum","tag-locomotion"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
