Heimatmuseum & Fronveste - Langenzenn

In the local history museum, the geology of the Zenne valley with dinosaur tracks, a cobbler's workshop, blank weapons and traditional costumes are on display.

Its foundation walls, which show traces of Romanesque architecture, are probably the oldest buildings in Langenzenn. The sandstone basement belonged to the former cemetery chapel, which was dedicated to the archangel Michael. In 1622 the cemetery was moved outside the town and a new chapel was consecrated. The former church was extended by a half-timbered storey and became a Latin school. The upper floor was used as a teacher's flat until 1815, later it became private property and was used as a residential building. In 1963 the house was sold to the town of Langenzenn with the proviso that a museum of local history would be established there.

As an extension, the Fronveste belongs to the museum of local history. In the building, which was erected in 1757, you can see the historical furnishings of the town pharmacy from 1557 as well as exhibits and pictures on the town's history.

The historc vaults with the state dungeon illustrate the overall situation of Rothenburg ob der Tauber during the era of the Thirty Years' War.

Historische Felsengänge - Nürnberg

The largest rock cellar labyrinth in southern Germany is hidden beneath the Imperial Castle and Nuremberg's Old Town. This system of corridors and cellars, which extends over several storeys, was carved into the red sandstone as early as the 14th century. It was primarily used for the fermentation and storage of beer. In the Middle Ages, Nuremberg had an impressive 40 breweries for every 30,000 inhabitants.
The historic rock corridors played a special role during the Second World War. Converted into air raid shelters and art bunkers, they provided protection for tens of thousands of people and important art treasures.
Today, a small part of the branched system of corridors is once again used for maturing and storing speciality beers, the historic art bunker under the Imperial Castle can be visited and a wide variety of guided tours through the historic rock corridors are offered.

Historischer Kunstbunker im Burgberg - Nürnberg

Stored in the Historical Art Bunker beneath the Kaiserburg, irreplaceable art treasures survived the bombing raids of the Second World War unscathed. These include the Angel's Greeting by Veit Stoß from the Lorenzkirche, the Krakow Altar of the Virgin Mary also by Veit Stoß, the art clock "Das Männleinlaufen" from the Frauenkirche and works by Albrecht Dürer.

The bunker complex, which is unique in Germany, is part of the underground passages that have existed since the Middle Ages, up to 24 metres below the surface, and were built primarily for storing beer. Shortly after the start of the war in 1940, the City of Nuremberg began to equip some of the rock passages with an ingenious system for ventilation, heating and drainage, thus creating the conditions for saving the valuable art objects. A large part of the installations can still be visited today. Film and audio documents show the demise of the medieval Nuremberg. Guided tours take place regularly.

Kasematten und Lochwasserleitung - Nürnberg

Casemates and Water Supply - deep inside the castle bastions, at the level of the moat, is a network of high vaulted passageways known as casements. With their strategically located embrasures and sally-ports, these passages were intended both for defense and for counter-attack. Directly beneath the Tiergärtnertor, a rock-cut stairway connects the sixteenth century fortifications with a medieval system of water-supply conduits, the so-called "Lochwasserleitung". The tunnels(whose locations were a closely guarded secret) served to collect and conduct water. The secret tunnels through the sandstone bedrock were first mentioned in 1459 and were still of use in the 20th century.

Römischer Gutshof mit Badruine - Weinsberg

The Roman Estate with Bath Ruin - By a great coincidence, one of the best preserved Roman buildings in Baden-Württemberg was discovered in Weinsberg. When planting a tree in 1906, the ground plan of a Roman bath complex at the foot of Weibertreu Castle was uncovered. Further excavations brought to light parts of a Roman residential house. This was proof that the complex had not served military but purely civilian purposes. The town of Weinsberg restored the complex, where the wall and floor heating is clearly visible, and made it accessible to the public.

Weibertreu Museum - Weinsberg

Museum Weibertreu - When in 1140 the German king Konrad III forced the castle Weinsberg to surrender, according to the legend, a unique story took place. He allowed women and children to leave freely and allowed the women to take as much of their possessions with them as they could carry. To his surprise, the faithful women carried their husbands out of the castle on their backs, which the king generously granted, since one may not break a king's word. The exhibits in the museum are dedicated to this event, as well as to the blood osters in the Peasant War of 1525 and the history of the castle and town.
