Federseemuseum Bad Buchau, Natural history museum in Bad Buchau, Germany.
Federseemuseum is a natural history museum in Bad Buchau that displays original archaeological finds from the wetland region. The grounds also feature reconstructed houses from the Stone Age and Bronze Age, showing how people actually lived in those periods.
The museum was founded in 1968 and collects finds spanning 15,000 years from lakeside settlements around the Federsee. This archaeological history shows how people lived in and adapted to this wetland environment over thousands of years.
The museum shows how communities lived by the lake through stone and bronze tools, weapons, and everyday objects they left behind. These finds help visitors understand how people used their surroundings and worked together in ancient times.
The museum is located at the edge of Bad Buchau and easy to find, with parking nearby. Wear comfortable shoes since the outdoor area with reconstructed houses requires walking around the grounds.
The archaeological sites around the museum are part of UNESCO World Heritage status for Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps. These sites are particularly valuable because organic materials like wood and textiles have been preserved exceptionally well in the wetland soil.
