Segnitz, with its location at the southern tip of the Maindreieck, has evidently always been a special place: excavations have unearthed important burial grounds from the Celtic Hallstatt period (800-475 BC) and the Merovingian period (500-751 AD), with the oldest finds dating back to the Bronze Age (1400 BC). The finds presented in the Segeum Museum (with a side view of the Bell Beaker Culture, 2500 BC) thus offer the opportunity to observe the changes in burial customs over a period of 3000 years. Staged excavation findings, e.g. a section through an Iron Age burial mound, serve to illustrate this.
