In the organizer's words:
Embossed. Seals and coats of arms from Rostock and Mecklenburg
February 2, 2025 - March 30, 202
Exhibition opening on February 1 at 5 pm
They used to be omnipresent. Today we still know them as stamps on important papers. Seals, stamps and marks as well as the coats of arms depicted on them are important sources for historical research. They can be found in archives, but also in museum collections. Nevertheless, they are rarely on display in exhibitions, as seals and seal impressions are often attached to sensitive documents or affixed to papers. Seal stamps are small and cut upside down. This makes them difficult to decipher.
The Rostock Museum of Cultural History has a large number of seal stamps, seal impressions and stamps from ten centuries, primarily from Mecklenburg and Rostock. A selection will be presented for the first time in this exhibition.
