The Rieskrater Museum Nördlingen is a special geological museum. The main focus is on the formation of the Nördlinger Ries around 15 million years ago. At this time an asteroid about 1 km in diameter collided with the earth, the result of this cosmic encounter is the Nördlinger Ries.

In a very elaborately renovated medieval barn building from 1503, the giant event with its planetological roots and its earthly effects is shown.

Numerous exhibits, including meteorites and fossils as well as a piece of real moon rock, text panels on various levels of information and numerous multimedia offers make the topic entertaining.

The museum is open all year round Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Guided tours can be booked on request.

The price includes admission to the Nördlingen City Museum.
