Danube River Cruise #54: The Amazing Dachshund Museum! Part 1:
Moni and Seppi, the Dachshunds who founded the museum
Welcome to one of the final blogs of our Danube River Viking cruise vacation! We ended this great trip in Passau, Germany and were surprised to find that the Dachshund Museum that I learned about a year before, was located in that city! Since we have a couple of Dachshunds (and a Weimaraner, also German, and a Dachshund-Chihuahua mix) we were so excited to visit the museum. In fact, Tom had to finally walk outside and leave me (Rob) in the museum for at least 30 minutes more.

ABOUT THE MUSEUM! -
Our Tyler says you need to check it out!
The world’s first and unique dachshund museum Kleine Residenz (“Small Residence”) is located right across the New Bishop’s Residence. The dachshund – a philosophy – is shown in an exhibition that contains the world’s largest collection of a total of more than 4,500 exhibits.
It was founded by former local florists and Dachshund parents Oliver Storz, and Seppi Küblbeck, with their dachshunds Moni and Little Seppi. No other dog seems to be as world-famous as the dachshund. The 100th anniversary of the Free State of Bavaria, the dachshund in nobility or the dachshund in hunting as well as “Waldi”, the dachshund of the 1972 Olympic Games, are focal points in the museum.

The museum is located in Residence Square, which is no doubt the most beautiful square in the city of Passau. The collection was compiled by the two master florists Seppi Küblbeck and Oliver Storz over the last 25 years and is now shown to the public for the first time. A large number of exhibits are lovingly presented in showcases, with a wink of an eye and a great passion for the dachshund, which represents Bavaria like nobody else.
