Alamannen-Museum Vörstetten

The Alamannen-Museum Vörstetten is an archaeology museum dedicated to early medieval settlement in the region. It features reconstructed homes and workshops from the 4th century, allowing visitors to see how this population lived and worked.

Excavations in Vörstetten between 1991 and 2007 uncovered artifacts from the late Roman period and early medieval times. These findings provided the foundation for the reconstructions and the museum's design today.

The exhibits showcase the crafts and skills of the Alamanni people through regular demonstrations of pottery and metalworking. Visitors can observe how these early settlers worked and produced everyday items.

The museum is open several days a week and offers wheelchair access along with parking for guests. Most of the outdoor displays are open to the elements, so visitors should dress appropriately for the weather.

The museum grounds include gardens growing historical plant varieties and ancient grain types that were common in the Alamanni period. This cultivation offers visitors insight into what foods and resources these early inhabitants relied upon.
