Archaeology to touch: Bavarians and Romans in Herrsching

In the Archaeological Park Herrsching, early local history meets vivid communication: The exhibition and tours open on May 24, 2026, a precise view of the Bavarian noble cemetery, the reconstructed noble church, and the Roman traces at the site. Anyone interested in early history, grave finds, and cultural education will experience a carefully curated art experience of archaeology here.

A place where history becomes visible

The Herrsching cemetery became the starting point for an extraordinary discovery in 1982: During work, graves from the 7th century and remains of a Roman estate were uncovered. The exhibition makes these layers of the past readable and connects scientific knowledge with immediate spatial effects. Replicas of weapons and a ceremonial belt, a life-size figure of a Bavarian, and original Roman artifacts create a dense examination of early times at Lake Ammer.

Noble church, display panels, and find history

Central to the exhibition is the reconstructed noble church, whose architectural presence makes the early medieval context impressively palpable. Information panels, images, and marked find locations in the park lead from the Bavarian graves to the Roman bathing building. Thus, an exhibition unfolds that not only informs but also takes the aesthetic experience of historical spaces seriously.

Guided tours as cultural education

The event thrives on its communication: Free guided tours accompany the visit and provide context on burial rites, settlement history, and archaeological findings. Special tours for groups are available upon request. Especially for families, school classes, and those interested in cultural history, the date offers a vivid introduction to the early history of Herrsching.

Visit to the Archaeological Park

The park is accessible year-round via the cemetery, with regular opening hours for the noble church from early May to the end of September, every Sunday between 11:00 AM and 12:30 PM. Parking is available, and entry is free. This creates a low-threshold, scientifically well-founded exhibition format that connects regional identity with archaeological communication.
