Alamannenmuseum Weingarten, Archaeological museum in Weingarten, Germany.
Description
The Alamannenmuseum holds objects from one of Southwest Germany's largest early medieval burial fields, including jewelry, weapons, and everyday tools. The collection is displayed in a former grain storage building dating to the 1600s.
History
The burial field was found by chance in 1952 when construction workers broke ground, revealing how Alamanni peoples settled this region in the early medieval period. Systematic excavations in the following years uncovered extensive evidence of their way of life.
Culture
The objects on display reveal how the Alamanni lived, what they valued, and how they organized their communities in this region. Visitors can see the kinds of items that mattered most to ordinary people of that time.
Practical
The museum sits in the old town center and is easily reached on foot, with convenient parking nearby. It helps to check opening days ahead of time since hours can vary by season.
