Museen an der Koppelschleuse: Emsland Archäologie Museum

The Emsland Archäologie Museum at the Koppelschleuse offers you a fascinating journey through 40,000 years of history. You can experience the archaeology of the region and the exciting story of the city all in one day.

There are annual special exhibitions that explore new topics each year to keep things fresh. Currently, the exhibition on the history of the Forensic Police, featuring real criminal cases from Emsland, attracts the most attention.

Particularly exciting are the monthly public tours of the permanent exhibition. They take you on a discovery journey from the Stone Age to the early Middle Ages and show you the living world of your ancestors.

For those who want to learn through play, there is the game night series „Grabungskelle trifft Spielbrett“. Here, archaeology is combined with board games – fun for the whole family!

A special highlight is the story of the „Red Franz“, a 25-year-old Germanic warrior from the 4th century who was found in a moor. His story brings local history to life in an exciting way.
