Minimuseum Soller, museum in Soller, Vettweiß, Germany

The Minimuseum Soller is a 6 by 6 feet (2 by 2 meters) underground chamber that displays remains of a Roman water pipe from the second century. Archaeological finds discovered in 1981 during road construction show how water was conveyed from a spring to surrounding villages including Soller.

The water pipe dates to Roman times and connected a spring in the Ellebach area to surrounding settlements. Its remains were accidentally discovered in 1981 during road work at the intersection of the B56 federal road and the district road 28, prompting the creation of this museum.

The name reflects the deliberately small scale of this museum dedicated to Roman water systems. Visitors learn how these ancient pipes shaped settlement patterns and how water management was central to community life in the region.

The museum is tiny and located on the northern edge of Soller, making it easy to reach on foot or by bike. Access requires a key distributed by the local administrative office in Vettweiß, so prior arrangement is necessary before visiting.

The Minimuseum claims the title of the world's smallest museum on just 4 square metres of floor space. From outside, only a railing-framed staircase leading down is visible; the finds themselves lie below ground. Among them is a bend shaft (Knickschacht) found alongside the two pipe sections.
