Römervilla von Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Archaeological museum in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany.
The Römervilla in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler is an excavation site with remains of an ancient residence that displays well-preserved floors decorated with mosaics, wall foundations, and traces of an underfloor heating system. The exposed ground plan reveals several rooms and a courtyard, while artifacts found on site provide insight into daily life nearly 2000 years ago.
The estate was founded in the 1st century and served as a home for wealthy residents for several generations. Around the middle of the 3rd century it was abandoned, possibly due to military unrest in the region.
The mosaics and objects on display show how wealthy Roman families lived in this region and what crafts they practiced. Here you see traces of a culture that, far from Rome, still maintained the same customs and artistic forms.
The site is located at Silberberg and is reached by public paths that are easy to follow. The exhibition can be explored in roughly 1.5 to 2 hours and is accessible for visitors with mobility difficulties.
After the Roman house was abandoned, the site was used successively as an inn, an iron forge, and later as an early medieval cemetery. This varied history makes the location a record of different cultures and periods layered over time.
