Today, it hosts the Museum of the Palatinate, showcasing the local natural history. It is long ago that the little Isenach river propelled the water wheels here, but heavy millstones along the side of the path bear witness to the building\u2019s eventful history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7017\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The coffee machine in the foyer flashes.

He took the post of head of the zoological department when he first came to the museum. The transition was a bit of a culture shock for the young scientist from the north. \u201cI come from a rural area too, but Palatinate locals have quite a different mentality from locals in the district of Oldenburg, let alone the dialect that took me quite some time to understand. However, the proverbial hospitality in the Palatinate makes it easier\u2014and it helpsif you are ready to go for a Palatinate wine instead of dry pilsner.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7018\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Palatinate region attracts visitors not only for its fine wine and hospitality, but also for its mild weather throughout the year. In fact so pleasantly mild is the climate that a female animal that you usually find in the Mediterranean region is native to the Palatinate\u2014the praying mantis, that most interesting insect known to consume its mate after the act of love. \u201cI really enjoyed that I can observe the objects that I had studied for years right on the doorstep now,\u201d Frank explains. \u201cAnd then after I had worked here for only two years, our director, Dr. Fl\u00f6\u00dfer, retired. I applied for the vacant position, as many others did\u2014and to my great joy I was chosen for the post.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The Museum of the Palatinate is sheer heaven for passionate entomologists. Its collection comprises some 270,000 insects\u2014an enormous stockpile, whose foundation was laid by the collecting ambitions of Palatinate hobby-entomologists in the 19<sup>th<\/sup>and 20<sup>th<\/sup>centuries. Hans J\u00f6st from the South-Palatinate town of Annweiler was one of them. From 1902 to 1980 he gathered collections throughout the Palatinate\u2014and he was very successful.Hans pricked about 40,000 butterflies and moths meticulously and sorted them into insect showcases.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u201cYoung and adult visitors love the plain, charming exhibition way\u2014even today.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Certain parts of the museum are not accessible to visitors. It is the parts where hundreds of wooden boxes with preserved insects are piled up at a cool room temperature. Here reigns Dr. Katharina Schneeberg, the successor to Frank Wieland in the zoological department. She re-catalogues the stock of insects with extreme precision and maintains the collection assuring that insect lovers\u2019 hearts keep fluttering in Bad D\u00fcrkheim.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-41.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7054\" src=\"http:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-41.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-41.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-41-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PfalzMuseum_JBF-41-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, not only the zoological and geo-scientific collections are given a polish; the entire museum is being prepared for the future. The 1,700 square-metre exhibition area will be refurbished and modernized step by step. The special exhibitions were alreadygiven a new habitat and the remediated ground floor gives you an idea of what the rest of the permanent display will look like soon. In 2008, an extension building with another 220 square metres for the museum was finished. It is now the entrance area and hosts alternating exhibitions, some of them very special indeed: \u2018Alles Schei\u00dfe\u2019 (It\u2019s all shit) is the deliberately provocative title of a special exhibition that showcases any form of excrement in a very intelligent and creative way.

It is almost like travelling back in time to geography classes in the 80s: fossils, rocks and minerals are presented in showcases and dioramas in an ochre and brown ambience. \u201cNo, we are not at all embarrassed about the rooms, they were state of the art at that time,\u201d Frank laughs. \u201cThe presentation may be old-fashioned, but it has its own appeal.
