Römisches Museum mit Archäologischem Park Köngen

The Roman Museum and Archaeological Park in Köngen is a museum containing archaeological finds and structures from ancient Roman military settlements. The park displays remnants of fortifications and buildings, while the museum houses indoor exhibitions with artifacts from this period.

A Roman fort was established here around 85-90 CE and served as a military post until about 159-160 CE. The excavations and museum creation document Rome's long presence in this region.

The collection displays items from everyday Roman life, including silver coins, parts of a Jupiter column, and pottery that show how people lived here. These objects give insight into which goods and beliefs mattered to the inhabitants.

The museum offers guided tours through indoor exhibitions and outdoor archaeological structures. Visitors can explore both areas and should allow time for different parts of the site.

A reconstructed Roman watchtower from 1911 stands in the archaeological park marking the original military installation site. The tower provides a sense of how the original fortification likely appeared.
