Kelten Museum

Manching, Germany

The Kelten museum in Manching provides a window to the spectacular excavations of the Celtic city of Manching and the Roman fortress of Oberstimm. As a branch museum of the Archäologische Staatssammlung München, it presents outstanding finds of the Iron Age and the Roman imperial period. The modern museum built in 2006 is situated directly at the original historical site, which can be explored on an archaeological trail.

The exhibition hall is a bit more sparse than the size of the building implies. Apparently one of the old central draws (a gold treasure hoard) was stolen a few years back too. Nevertheless, I think this museum had informative content and some interesting local artefacts. The audio guide is worth it and helped contextualize many pieces. It is harder to find a museum with a Celtic focus than a Roman one; if you are particularly interested in Celts this museum will impress, while if you were looking forward to Roman history this museum may not be so stand-out.

Excellent museum. Very nice collection. No English plaques but you do get an audio guide, which provides very good information. The museum is also special because of the great number and quality of reconstructed items, not just original remains. You can get a great sense of the life in ancient times. The museum store is also well-supplied, though I wish for more English books and publications.

A very nice small museum covering Celtic and Roman history in this area. Beautiful presentation, friendly staff, and they have audio guides in English.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
