Museum für Ur- und Frühgeschichte auf der Willibaldsburg (Museum for Prehistory and Early History at Willibaldsburg Castle)
Important information:
The museum, founded as early as 1886, is located on the 1st floor of the south wing of the Gemmingen Building. The history of the region's development from the Stone Age to the Early Middle Ages is shown here. The focal points are the room with animal skeletons of mammoths, cave hyenas and reindeer as well as the section with Roman finds - including the only "Groma" (Roman surveying instrument) north of the Alps - and a late Merovingian burial site. With the help of original pieces, the epoch from the first appearance of man in the Eichstätt area to Christianisation is thus almost completely documented. The museum also shows special exhibitions on current historical topics.
