To this day, unexplored remains have been preserved in layers of soil up to two meters deep in the town. Whenever the opportunity arises, archaeologists uncover the "archive underground" and bring new details about the history of our town to light. This was also the case with the excavations between Schlüsselstrasse and Metzgerstrasse, which were carried out from 2013 to 2015. This involved examining 3200 m² of soil and documenting over 1400 features.
The exhibition presents the results of these excavations. The finds range from the beginnings of settlement in the 12th century to the first destruction of the town in the 17th century.
Das Handwerk des Hafners stellen wir besonders in den Mittelpunkt. Denn die Anzahl und Qualität der gefundenen Kacheln lassen auf eine überregional bedeutende Produktion von Ofenkacheln am Oberrhein hier in Neuenburg schließen.
In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Landesamt für Denkmalpflege werden neue spannende Details zur Geschichte und Entwicklung unserer Stadt präsentiert.
