The Zinnfigurenklause is a private museum in Freiburg im Breisgau that depicts the history of the Schwabentor in south-eastern Germany.
After he died in 1989 in the age of 80, Andreas Müller, who had previously filled in for Lehmann while he was absent, took charge of the museum in the meantime.
The city of Freiburg does not charge rent for the museum's rooms, and pays for lighting, heating and cleaning.
Since 1983, the Archives of social movements have been collecting print media that deal with topics related to the new social movements[2][3] The collection of the museum consists of 9000 tin figures in 21 dioramas which, among other scenes, depict the Battle of Sempach in 1386 (which makes up for 1150 of the figures), a battle from the Swabian-Swiss War of 1499, the German Peasant's War of 1525 that took place in the Black Forest region of Germany, the siege of the Küssaburg/Oberlauchringen, the events of the Badische Revolution and a siege from War of the Spanish Succession.
Furthermore, there are diorama with castles of the Hochrhein und Oberrhein, the hunting of witches, and the examination of Martin Luther in Worms.
