Alamannen-Museum Vörstetten, Archaeological museum in Vörstetten, Germany.
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 finds shown indoors come from digs in 1991, 1998–2000 and 2007, and some belong to Thiermondingen, a vanished village whose land is now part of Vörstetten. Outside, the farmstead's garden keeps old crops, dye plants and cereals, and the site includes a pit house, smithy, pottery workshop and bread oven.
