The new Stoltze Museum of Frankfurter Sparkasse is divided into two areas. One part in the stairwell of "Weißer Bock" and three rooms in the rear building of "Goldene Waage". The exhibition focuses on the political author, the freedom poet, and satirist Friedrich Stoltze (1816 - 1891), who campaigned for civil rights and democracy. Stoltze's life and work are presented in five richly illustrated chapters. A touch-screen display allows visitors to browse through Stoltze's main work, the satirical weekly "Frankfurter Latern". Original exhibits from Stoltze's household and a listening station about personalities with whom Stoltze was associated are housed in the fireplace room of "Goldene Waage". A multifunctional media table on the most historically significant locations in Frankfurt completes the permanent exhibition and changing special exhibitions with images, sound and texts by Stoltze.
