History and tradition

The 'Museum und Galerie im Prediger' was founded in 1876 and belongs to the oldest in Baden Württemberg. The focus of the rich collection is on religious art, silver craft and jewellery.

Special features include fossils from the Jura Sea, findings on the Limes border, Alemannic Graves, the time of the 'Hohenstaufen' with churches, monasteries and protective city walls, three church treasures – among them the Muenster treasure – the 'Palm Donkey', the 'true length of Corpus Christi' the silver cabinet with rosaries, filigree and Judaica, and graphic design by Hans Baldung Grien, Albrecht Dürer and Lucas Cranach sen.
