At the House of History in Bonn, the permanent exhibition opens a new chapter. With a fresh, contemporary look, it invites visitors to rediscover German history.

On December 5, Minister of State for Culture Weimer opened the newly conceived permanent exhibition “You Are Part of History – Germany since 1945.” It makes one thing clear: history is not a closed chapter, but an ongoing process in which we are all involved.

As part of a highly motivated team, GROTE GmbH took on the artistic production direction. In close collaboration with the Amsterdam-based design studio Kossmanndejong, an exhibition was created that connects past and present in an accessible way.

We are delighted to have won the competition for the redesign of the permanent exhibition at the KL!CK Children’s Museum in Hamburg. In the listed community center from the 1970s, a new interactive experience world for children is taking shape – featuring exciting journeys through the human body, across different eras, and into an enchanted forest.

The redesign of the Gut Lärchenhof Golf Club combines challenging golf in a park-like setting with a gourmet restaurant that offers culinary highlights in a unique atmosphere. We are proud to now present this beautiful project in its completed form!

We are very excited about winning the competition! The project involves the creation of an ‘Education and Experience Center for Art Casting and Industrial Culture’ at two locations: ‘ERZ’ (Art Casting Museum/Art Foundry/Peace Memorial Church) in Lauchhammer-Ost and ‘KOHLE’ (Biogas Towers/Relics Park) in Lauchhammer-West. The Art Casting Museum with the Peace Memorial Church as well as the Biogas Towers impressively commemorate the industrial culture of the region. These sites are to be preserved and utilized in a new context. The project includes the development of a central concept for both locations, the profiling of the Lauchhammer Art Casting Museum and the Biogas Towers, as well as the elaboration of two theme-oriented exhibition units.

We have been redesigning the conference area of the Hanse Lounge in Hamburg – for beautiful moments by the Kleine Alster.

We continue the exhibition series WEITER_GEDACHT with a special exhibition on the circular economy. To achieve this, we utilize the components of the current exhibition on the energy transition and create the new exhibition design from them.

In unknown worlds, surrounded by fascinating beings and amidst captivating phenomena, the newly designed children’s section of Universum® Bremen offers young researchers aged three to eight a wealth of unexplored and unique opportunities for exploration. In five distinct “Superlaxies,” a variety of skills are put to the test, with each of them unveiling its very own universe full of wonders and secrets. The new experiential world was opened on October 13, 2023!
