RömerWelt, Roman history museum in Rheinbrohl, Germany
RömerWelt is a museum in Rheinbrohl that teaches Roman history through interactive exhibits and craft demonstrations. Visitors can try old techniques themselves and learn how people lived and worked during the Roman era.
The museum sits at the starting point of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes, a 550-kilometer Roman border fortification from the 1st century. This frontier system became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005 and shaped the region for centuries.
The museum displays reconstructed Roman workshops with a glass furnace, herb garden, and bakery, showing how craftspeople and bakers worked in ancient times. These spaces come alive during your visit and give a sense of daily life as it was experienced back then.
The museum is easiest to reach via the nearby federal road and offers parking on site. Plan to spend about two to three hours, depending on how much time you want to spend at the interactive stations.
The museum features a reconstructed wooden watchtower that gives visitors views of the Eifel and Westerwald landscapes. The adjacent RömerWeltWeg hiking trail connects the museum grounds to the historic border route and shows how Romans controlled the land.
