Carl Schweizer Museum
In this museum, rich in tradition, which has been run by the Schweizer family for four generations, one can view nature and living history face to face. Guided tours through the museum are a special experience because here the landlords take you through their impressive collection themselves, a collection that has been skilfully and knowledgeably been added to over the decades.
The historical collection is arranged in a section on Roman regional and local history, with the main emphasis on the finds from the UNESCO World Heritage Site Limes. A stone with the Capitoline she-wolf, the Murrhardt bronzes, and further finds from “Vicus Murrensis” are outstanding. The 3D animation “Virtual Worlds of the Limes” is also of high quality. It takes you on a journey along the Limes and to the villages. Under the guidance of a trained cicerone, visitors can immerse themselves in the world of the past.
There is also a natural history collection in addition to the Roman history section in which biotopes from all over Europe – with emphasis on Germany and the Swabian Forest – are presented. There are no hunting trophies; instead the diversity of birds and mammals is exhibited. In the framework of nature conservation, a picture of the primeval world is presented, which then leads up to our modern environment.
A further section on monastery history imparts how life was lived in Murrhardt during the Middle Ages from the 6th to the 16th century. Murrhardt had the oldest monastery in Northern Württemberg. Most impressive are the large, original Staufian portals and structural elements. Collections dealing with geological history, the primeval world, the Stone Age, prehistory and early history complete the presentation.
Guided city tours, experiential tours, viewings of the remains of the Roman Baths and many more attractions can be booked through the museum.
