Terra-Sigillata-Museum

Terra-Sigillata-Museum is a place dedicated to Roman pottery and its production, spread across multiple floors. Here you find clay vessels from different periods and information about production techniques in a modern exhibition space.

This place became the largest pottery production center north of the Alps in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, favored by clay deposits and good transport routes. That period of growth shaped an entire region and left traces visible to this day.

The collection shows everyday items from ancient times and illustrates the craft of potters who worked here. Visitors see through the artifacts how closely pottery production was tied to people's daily lives.

The museum can be visited on certain weekdays, with opening hours that vary. It is helpful to check the exact times beforehand to plan a successful visit.

Two well-preserved Roman kilns stand in a protective shelter near the kindergarten and show clearly how the pottery was made. These original structures offer a direct look at the production methods of ancient craftspeople.
