    Tips

    August 8, 2019

    In 1969 ceramic shards and earth discolorations appeared here during earthworks. The subsequent discoveries of several house plans and numerous archaeological finds in the next few years showed that this area had been inhabited by humans for 4,000 years. In 1990, the Archaeological Center Hitzacker and thus Germany's first Bronze Age open air museum was founded.
    Worthy of mention are the numerous educational offers that make the early history (also for children) very understandable.

      We love museums for pre-and early history and archaeological excavations. Here is a large inventory of finds, imitated, but still rich in information. For children there are hands-on stations and for all question games. The visit is definitely worth it!

        Complemental description: The open-air museum is only open in the summer half-year and then daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Between November and March you stand in front of closed doors: winter break! Season start 2021 on April 1st.

          Here you can really experience the living situation of the Bronze Age, everything can be walked in and touched. How dark is it in a longhouse, how do you make fire, ceramics, mud walls, or your next meal? Warmly and informatively explained by the friendly staff. We really liked it - many thanks to the AZH!

            Interesting early settlement place. Also highly recommended with children.

              It is beautifully located on the lake, with a playground in front and is worth seeing. A quick test for corona can be done on site.

                A necessary rapid corona test can be carried out on site for unvaccinated people!
