Museum of Sepulchral Culture

Tip
museum
Unique in Germany, the museum displays a wide range of sepulchral objects such as shrouds, coffins, carriages and traditional costumes. The changing, themed special exhibitions complement and expand the range on offer.
Death and dying are part of life

If only death makes it clear what life actually is, then the museum is also one for life.

The permanent exhibition shows what has developed in connection with the "last things". This includes funeral and mourning rites as well as special customs, but also artistic perspectives on life and death. The museum's collection focuses on Central Europe from the end of the Middle Ages to the present day.
