Römermuseum Osterburken

The Römermuseum Osterburken is an archaeological museum displaying Roman finds and discoveries from the region across three levels. The collection includes remains of border fortifications, bath buildings, and numerous stone monuments from the Limes site.

The site was home to a Roman frontier settlement along the Limes boundary, occupied between the 2nd and 3rd centuries. The museum preserves evidence of this strategically important location where Roman territory met Germanic lands.

The exhibits show objects that reveal how Roman soldiers and local communities interacted through military equipment, religious items, and everyday goods. These pieces help visitors understand what daily life was like at this ancient frontier.

The museum is open most days of the week and offers information at various stations throughout the exhibits. It is easy to reach on foot and designed to accommodate visitors with different mobility needs.

The collection features votive altars and memorial stones dedicated by border soldiers called beneficiarii who were stationed here. These personal dedications offer rare glimpses into the identities and ranks of these military personnel.
