We will search for traces of this history throughout the city. The focus is on artifacts from the 1987 excavations, now housed in the collection of the Frankfurt Archaeological Museum: tableware, stove tiles, dice, and a comb—all recovered from cellars and wells—bear witness to the lives of the former residents. In the vaulted cellar of the…

Roman Currency at the Limes

2026-11-18 @ 18:30

New Discoveries and Findings The use of metal detectors has significantly advanced research into the Roman forts along the Hessian Limes in recent decades. The investigations—most of which were conducted on behalf of and with the approval of the historic preservation authorities—as well as collaboration with private metal detectorists have led to a tremendous increase in coin finds: In Oberflorstadt, the number rose from 59 to 194; in Inheiden, from 46 to 543; and in Arnsburg, from 25 to 602 specimens…

Return to Ithaca

2026-11-22 @ 11:30

Twenty years after setting out for the Trojan War, Odysseus washes ashore on the coast of Ithaca, emaciated, a stranger in his own land, a beggar, unrecognized. Ithaca has changed. The land lies desolate; Penelope, his beloved wife, is a prisoner in her own home, besieged by unscrupulous suitors who are waiting for her to choose a new husband, a new king. Her son Telemachus, who grew up without a father, is threatened with death by the suitors; he stands in the way of their struggle for Penelope and the royal crown. Odysseus, too, has changed. Scarred by his wartime experiences, he is no longer the mighty warrior and cunning hero his people remember. He is weary from so much killing, suffering, and wandering. The war is within him; he can no longer shake it off. But he is forced to confront his past. He must find the strength once more to save his family and win back his lost love.

Of mendicants, benefactors and monastery walls

2026-12-05 @ 15:00

Archaeology and history of the Carmelite church and monastery The early building history of the Carmelite monastery - today the home of the Archaeological Museum Frankfurt - is only insufficiently documented in documents and monastery diaries. However, excavations carried out in 1981/82 in the Carmelite church by the then Museum of Prehistory and Early History, now the Archaeological Museum, provided reliable facts. On this guided tour, visitors can experience the Archaeological Museum in a different way.
