24 Steinsburg Museum in Römhild

24 Steinsburg Museum in Römhild

Enshrouded in legend and continuously inhabited since the late Stone Age, one of Germany’s most significant archaeological sites can be discovered on the small Gleichberg near Römhild.

The stone walls dating back to the 5th century BC, which encircle the mountain, once protected a Celtic settlement from invaders.

The walls are arranged in several rings around a narrow, divided inner area, strongly resembling a medieval castle.

In the 1st century BC, the Celts abandoned their stone fortress and left the Gleichberg near Römhild.

The Steinsburg Museum, which opened in 1928 at the foot of the former castle settlement, provides a unique insight into that pre-Christian era.

It houses not only artifacts from the Celtic tribe at Gleichberg but also findings related to the life and history of the Celts in Central Europe.
