Museum und Galerie im Prediger

Museum und Galerie im Prediger brings geology, faith, craftsmanship and local history together through objects from the Jurassic Sea to around 1700. Its origins reach back to 1876, when local citizens and culture enthusiasts formed an association. Fossils begin the journey, followed by Roman finds from the Limes frontier and Alemannic graves. These remains connect distant eras with the people who lived, worked and were buried here.

The medieval galleries focus on the Hohenstaufen period, when churches, monasteries and defensive walls shaped local communities. Three church treasures make religious life tangible, including the Münster Treasure. The silver cabinet holds rosaries, filigree work and Judaica, linking precious metal with devotion and skilled workmanship. Prints by Hans Baldung Grien, Albrecht Dürer and Lucas Cranach the Elder widen the view beyond local history.

Galerie im Prediger adds changing exhibitions beside the permanent historical displays. Small details reward close attention, especially in the graphic works and silver objects. The Palm Donkey stands out as a wooden figure connected with Palm Sunday processions. Alongside the True Length of Corpus Christi, it gives religious history a distinctly physical form.
