Römer und Bajuwaren Museum Kipfenberg, History museum in Burg Kipfenberg, Germany
The Römer und Bajuwaren Museum occupies the former stables of Burg Kipfenberg castle and presents exhibits about Roman settlements and early Bavarian cultures along the Limes. The collection includes archaeological finds, reconstructions, and information about the settlement patterns of these historical periods in the region.
The museum documents the settlement of the region from the Roman Limes to Bavarian expansion, illustrating the transition between Roman rule and early Bavarian presence. A significant burial from the 5th century demonstrates this shift between the two cultures.
The museum displays objects from the daily lives of Romans and early Bavarians who lived in the Altmühltal region alongside each other. The exhibits offer insights through finds and reconstructions of how these different populations shaped their everyday existence.
The museum is located on the castle grounds and is easily accessible via roads through Kipfenberg. Visitors should allow adequate time to explore the different exhibition areas at a comfortable pace.
Since 2006, the museum houses the regional Limes Information Center and a reconstructed watchtower display where visitors can try on Roman military equipment. This interactive element allows people to directly experience the gear and daily life of Roman soldiers.
