we were able to tour the current exhibition at the Archaeological Museum, Herne participate "AufRuhr 1225". As part of this exhibition, a wooden "moth-tower next to the museum was true to the original 20 meters high built of wood. Unfortunately, this tower is only from the weekend (28-3-10) in the context of a museum visit to be climbed.
The exhibition makes reference to the events in 1225, the assassination of the Archbishop of Cologne, Engelbert I. From this event, it has subsequently significant political changes in the region today Ruhr given. The exhibition will also further demonstrate that this region was highly developed in the Middle Ages and had the largest concentration of castles in Germany. This fact is largely unknown, since industrialization has destroyed the last 150 years, many monuments or they have disappeared from the consciousness of people.
The exhibition, with her knight theme, is aimed primarily at children and young people. The structure is confusing, the various topics are presented in the exhibition booths, it's missing the overall picture. The area is shown excellent hands, and occupies a large space. The children have fun and make quite a lot of noise (bad acoustics). Those who bring children to the exhibition, should here begin with the visit.
Unfortunately, the exhibition catalog (25 € Discount price) less addressed to the lay visitor, but it is a symposium for the relevant archaeologists, in sometimes stilted, academic language, written, difficult to read for a layman. Too bad, a missed chance to bring generally dry topic to a broad audience.
