Humpis-Quartier, Medieval museum complex in Ravensburg, Germany.
The Humpis-Quartier is a museum spread across five interconnected buildings that shows urban life through authentic medieval architecture. The structures retain their original designs and house exhibition spaces across multiple levels filled with historical objects from different periods.
The buildings took shape in the late medieval period when the wealthy Humpis family built their houses here in the 15th century. Over the centuries these structures were preserved and eventually converted into a museum that documents the city's story to the present day.
The name comes from the Humpis family, wealthy merchants whose residence still offers visitors a window into their way of life. You can see how living and business spaces mixed together and what objects played a role in the daily life of these people.
You can visit on several days during the week, with Saturday traditionally offering guided tours. It is wise to allow several hours to thoroughly explore all five buildings and their different levels.
The houses are connected by interior passages and staircases, creating a maze of different living areas and business spaces that reflects the city's layout of that time. This jumbled arrangement shows how tight and complicated medieval urban life actually was.
