The Historisches Centrum Hagen (HCH, in English: Historical Centre of Hagen) in Hagen, Germany,[1] has hosted the city museum, the municipal archives, the Westphalian Music and Literature Archive, the offices of Hagen historical societies, and rooms for events, since 1998.[2] It is located in a former building that is part of the Kettenfabrik Wippermann. It is the historical cultural centre of Hagen and gained a reputation for its exchange of exhibitions and other activities. In the field of archaeology, the Historical Centre of Hagen is responsible for the exploration and excavation of Blattenhöhle with important remains of Stone Age people.
In October 2005, a permanent exhibition on the history of the city of Hagen was opened in the Historical Centre. The extensive presentation includes a tour through the history of the city since the Middle Ages to the present. The displays include multimedia equipment, providing a leading museum presentation in North Rhine-Westphalia.[citation needed]
The accompanying city archives preserve the historical pictorial and written sources from the city and region. The collections include more than 250,000 negatives and photographs, a library with 25,000 books, dating back to the late 15th century, as well as music sheets from the 14th to 19th Century. One of the museum's collections is the Porzellansammlung Laufenberg-Wittmann, which contains rare material from the early 18th century onwards. A collection of coins and medals with around 65,000 individual items is also available.[citation needed]
In the Wasserschloss Werdringen, a burial site from the 13th century, the HCH has been running an exhibition site since November 2004, the Museum für Ur- und Frühgeschichte. The collection of sculptures, oriented to northwest Sauerland, is one of the most important geological and archaeological museums in North Rhine-Westphalia with significant visitor numbers.[citation needed] Particularly popular are the varied museum-educational programs for school classes, children and adolescents as well as adults.[citation needed]
On the Internet, the HCH with Historisches Centrum Online (HCO) is one of the largest and oldest (since 1994) local and regional history, general historical and museum-specific material relating to Germany, acting as an online portal.[3] The HCO cooperates with institutions such as the Humboldt University in Berlin, the German Museum Association, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and H-Net. In addition, the Historical Centre in the Virtual Library network hosts the catalogues and information portals of the time, the Early Modern period and museums.[4]
One important field of museum education of the Historical Centre is the project work with pupils, which will be presented in the context of temporary exhibitions to a broad public (such as the Presentation School @ Museum in the years 2011 and 2012).[citation needed]
Since 2012, the Historical Centre of Hagen has been part of the Cultural Department, headed by Tayfun Belgin. Ralf Blank is responsible for the museums and archives.[citation needed]

Hong Kong is located on the southern coast of The Peoples Republic of China. The former British colony consists of three main areas; The New Territories, The Kowloon Peninsula, and Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places on the planet. It's dramatic cityscapes cling to the hillsides and the edges of its spectacular harbor. Hong Kong is the embodiment of yin and yang, the Chinese concept of balance. It is filled with neighborhoods that resonate with Chinese and colonial tradition, while it's soaring skylines look boldly towards the future. For visitors, Hong Kong offers some of the world's most intense shopping, sightseeing and dining experiences, yet moments of stillness await at every turn. Faith is an integral part of local life. Everywhere you go you'll smell the scent of incense wafting from shrines. Hong Kong has over 600 places of worship, from small neighborhood temples, to hilltop complexes like the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery. In Hong Kong, shopping is almost a religion too! From opulent malls like Pacific Place to the bustling markets of Temple Street and Ladies Street, tax-free Hong Kong is heaven bargain hunters. At the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula is Tsim Sha Tsui, an area filled with classic neighborhoods. Take a stroll along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade which overlooks Victoria Harbor, one of the busiest and most scenic ports in the world. The promenade is home to some of the territories premier arts institutions, like the Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. From the promenade, hop aboard an historic Star Ferry for the short crossing to Hong Kong Island. Explore the malls and futuristic architecture of Hong Kong's main business district, Central. Then take tram to the island's highest mountain, Victoria Peak. At the Peak Tower, meet some of the giants of history, politics, and popular culture at Madam Tussauds. Then head up to the observation deck for the best views in Hong Kong. Looking down upon the skyscrapers and apartment towers, you might wonder how so many people can live in such a tightly packed area. Yet Hong Kong offers plenty of green spaces too. Take a stroll around Lugard Road to experience the Peak's dense woodlands. While closer to earth, Hong Kong's urban centers feature pockets of peace everywhere. There's the wide open spaces of Victoria garden, the hillside tranquility of Hong Kong Garden, and the birdsong of the Po Lin Street Bird Garden. Kowloon's Walled City Park is a gateway into the world of classic Qing Dynasty design, and features statues of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Outside the urban areas, visitors are often surprised to learn that over forty percent of the Hong Kong's territory has been designated as national park Thanks to Hong Kong's excellent public transport system, quiet beaches, sparsely populated islands and wild places are never more than short ride away. From Hong Kong Island's central business district, take the half hour bus ride to the tranquil beaches of Shek O. Or, jump on a ferry to traffic-free Lamma Island and spend the day swimming, exploring villages, and hiking its many trails. Lantau is the largest of Hong Kong's 250 Islands. Take the 25 minute cable car ride to the mountain-top village of Ngong Ping. Here you'll find the Po Lin Monastery, and one of Hong Kong's biggest attractions, the Tian Tan Buddha. After paying your respects at the Big Buddha seek a little enlightenment along the Wisdom Path a trail dedicated to the centuries-old Buddhist scripture, the Heart Sutra. Down on Lantau's western coast, lose yourself in the narrow lane ways of Tai O. This village has been home to fishing families for generations. The ramshackle stilt houses are a favorite with photographers, and its dried seafood is highly prized by cooks from all over Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, no matter how far you roam, you're never more than an hour from your hotel room. At the end of the day, let the outdoor escalators on Central carry you up to the midlevel neighborhoods. Cruise the fashionable bars of Soho, then choose a restaurant in the popular dinning district of Lan Kwai Fong. Hong Kong is a place of contrasts after dark too. Enjoy the bustle of the night markets, or just sit back and relax by the cool of the harbor. That's pure yin and yang. That's pure Hong Kong.
