It was used as a Monastery in 13AD when constructed. Later on in 19AD turned into a Museum as a Romanesque -Gothic syle. Nowadays you can see the paintings remaining from Medieval time. Artists such as Monet, Dubuffet and picasso paintings are also exhebited. Intereting place to see.

During our Viking River Cruise’ “Rhine Getaway” journey, our ship docked at Breisach. We then took a ship’s shore excursion to visit “Musee du Memorial des Combats de la Poche de Colmar”. The museum had excellent exhibits, showing the history of the fierce battles between the advancing American & French armies and the defending German army from December 1944 to February 1945 when American & French armies liberated the Colmar Pocket. Upon entering the museum gate, we were met by an artillery piece in a nice courtyard. We then walked to the wall with a plaque, commemorating the 50 the anniversary of the liberation of Turckheim Village by French Army 1st Battalion and U.S. Army 112th Regiment/28th Division. After hearing our excellent tour guide’s concise and precise briefing of the history of the Battle of Colmar Pocket, we entered the museum building. There, we were greeted by surprisingly elaborate exhibits of weapons and equipments used by the armies on both sides. We were even more impressed by the exhibits of strikingly realistic replicas of American and German soliders in their battle situations, which brought the entire exhibits to life. Just by looking at the solmn faces of those soldiers on exhibits, we could feel their tension, anxiety, determination and perseverance. We were tremendously moved by the exhibits which were even more effective in history telling than many well-versed history tellers. This museum is a must visit place during a visit to Colmar area.

Albert Schweitzer, theologian, philosopher, organist and pioneer of humanitarian medicine in Africa is one of the most outstanding personalities of the 20th century. His whole life was imbued with his ethic of “Reverence for Life”. In 1952 he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to humanity. He gave up a flourishing academic career in Europe went to Africa in 1913, together with his wife, Helene, in order to found a hospital in the tropical rainforest near the town of Lambarene. But this hospital had more to offer than medical treatments. It was built as a hospital village where all people were welcome, regardless of their assets, origin or religious beliefs. Even animals had their place. This improvisation, as Schweitzer himself called his hospital, is the realisation in practice of his ethic of “Reverence for Life”.
