Decline and New Beginnings

Early Middle Ages on the Southern Upper Rhine
Exhibitions
Archäologisches Museum Colombischlössle, Freiburg i.Br.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, society in our region collapsed - at least that's what researchers assumed for a long time. But was that really the case? Archaeological finds paint a completely different picture of people's lives in the early Middle Ages. Products of local crafts, a wide trading network, innovations in swordsmithing and a new way of burying the dead all point to major changes. This time of upheaval is also brought to life by many interactive elements in the exhibition.
