Roman Museum Weißenburg, History museum in Weißenburg in Bayern, Germany
The Roman Museum Weissenburg is a history museum in the old town that displays finds from the Roman period at the Danube frontier. The collection includes bronze figurines, votive offerings, wine jugs, and candelabra that show what life was like in a frontier garrison.
The museum's origin dates to a discovery in 1979 when a gardener found Roman objects near thermal baths. These finds were documented and led to the museum's opening in 1983.
The collection shows how Roman soldiers and local people lived together at the frontier through weapons, household items, and religious offerings from the second century. You can see which gods were worshipped and what objects were used every day.
The museum sits in the town center and is easily reached on foot. Opening hours run regularly from March through November, with shorter hours in winter, so checking ahead is wise.
The collection contains the so-called Weissenburg treasure, a group of bronze figurines that were hidden during the Alamanni invasion of the third century. This bronze assemblage ranks among Germany's most important Roman treasures ever found.
