Humpis-Quartier

Humpis-Quartier, Medieval museum complex in Ravensburg, Germany.

The Humpis-Quartier is a late medieval residential quarter in Ravensburg's upper town, made up of seven buildings grouped around a courtyard between Marktstraße, Humpisstraße and Rossbachstraße. Its core is the building at Marktstraße 45, whose facade bears the Humpis family coat of arms. The quarter houses the Museum Humpis-Quartier, whose roughly 60 rooms present the city's cultural history from the 11th century onward.

Archaeological digs in the courtyard in 2003 uncovered remains of a building from around 1050, from a small settlement. The tower houses at Marktstraße 45 and Humpisstraße 1 date to the 12th and 13th centuries; major rebuilding followed in the 15th century, and many Gothic rooms survive. The Humpis family lived here until the early 16th century, followed by the Neidegg, Reichlin von Meldegg and Burgau families. In the 18th century craftsmen used the houses as workshops, and the museum opened in July 2009 after restoration.

The name comes from the Humpis family, who lived in the Marktstraße 45 house and two buildings behind it until the early 16th century. The facade still bears their coat of arms. From the 15th to the 17th century the related lords of Neidegg, then the Reichlin von Meldegg family and the lords of Burgau also lived here. In the 18th century craftsmen took over the buildings, running a tannery and a hat-maker's workshop and setting up a tavern.

The quarter lies in the Oberstadt between Marktstraße, Humpisstraße and Rossbachstraße, with seven buildings grouped around an inner courtyard. The museum stays open throughout its multi-year redesign, begun in 2026 and planned to run until 2029, so parts of the permanent exhibition may change during a visit. Allow time for around 60 rooms.

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.
