Bronzezeit Bayern Museum Kranzberg

The Bronzezeit Bayern Museum in Kranzberg is an archaeological institution housing Bronze Age finds excavated from the northern Alpine region of Bavaria. Its collection includes tools, weapons, jewelry, and other objects from this ancient period.

The museum was founded in 2014 and presents archaeological findings from the Bernstorf excavation site, including remains of a wooden-earth fortification. This defensive structure protected a Bronze Age settlement more than 3000 years ago.

The museum displays crafting techniques and everyday objects that show how Bronze Age communities lived. The artifacts reveal social structures and daily practices of these early settlements.

The museum is housed in a compact building with easy-to-follow exhibits. The collections are organized in logical sections, making it straightforward to understand Bronze Age life and development.

A rare discovery here is objects bearing Linear B script, found nowhere else north of the Alps. These inscriptions reveal direct contact between this Bronze Age community and the ancient Mediterranean world.
