Wetterau-Museum

The Wetterau Museum is a local history museum in Friedberg with archaeological finds, regional objects, and historical displays spread across about 820 square meters. The rooms in the Haagstrasse building present layers of local history in a manageable setting.

The museum was founded in 1896 by the Friedberg Historical Society and moved to its current building in 1913 from Feldwebelbau Castle. This relocation provided a permanent, larger space for the expanding collection.

The collection displays Celtic and Roman finds that show how people in the region lived and worked long ago. Objects here reveal daily routines, crafts, and settlement patterns from ancient times.

The museum is open on weekdays and weekends, with a midday break to plan around. The rooms are small and manageable, so you do not need much time to see everything.

The Roman section holds a collection of over 1,000 ancient silver coins discovered at Ober-Florstadt castle. This coin hoard rests in a former vault and reveals the region's connections to Roman trade networks.
