Welzheim Museum

The picturesque group of buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, clustered around the old vicarage and complemented by the “Hirtenhäusle” moved from the Breitenfürst quarter in 1984 has, since 1981, become a central museum for the Welzheimer Forest and contains a large number of Roman and ethnological treasures.

In addition to numerous exhibits from the Roman period, the museum has some especially valuable finds from the Roman fountain at the former Welzheim Eastern Fort.

Peasant life from the 18th and 19th centuries is brought to life in the fully furnished rooms and chambers. In several halls, equipment, tools and locally hand-crafted articles of ceramic, stone, metal, wood and glass are displayed. In one small section, one can also admire valuable old toys that were produced in Welzheim. On the first Sunday of every month, coffee and cakes are served in the museum, and craftsmen demonstrate their skills. Groups and guided tours are by prior arrangement.
