Antonitermuseum in Memmingen, Bavaria, occupies the Antoniterhaus, a fifteenth-century, four-winged building with medieval hospital origins. The historic structure now serves as a cultural centre in the city.

Founded in 1996, the museum traces the Antoniter Order, its Memmingen branch, and the economic foundations supporting its work. Ergotism, also called Saint Anthony’s Fire, receives particular attention. Medieval healing methods and religious practices show how the order responded to illness. Archaeological finds illuminate daily life among patients and clergy connected with the institution.

The Antoniterhaus also houses the Strigel Museum, with medieval and early Renaissance works by the Strigel family. One detail connects the collection directly to past suffering: ergotism followed the consumption of grain contaminated by ergot fungus.
