Archaeology to Marvel At: Spearheads in the Moat at the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
The exhibition Spearheads in the Moat brings an extraordinary archaeological find from the Koblenz region into focus: wooden spearheads from the fortification moat at Blöskopf near Bad Ems, which were discovered for the first time in a scientific context and are now presented at the House of Archaeology. The show runs at the Cultural Center of Ehrenbreitstein Fortress and connects research, history, and a direct experience for families, school classes, and culture enthusiasts.

A Find That Makes History Tangible
The presentation makes visible how much archaeological research is involved in detail: excavation, analysis, reconstruction, and communication interlink here. From this, a dense event experience emerges that not only provides facts but also makes the atmosphere of discovery and research tangible. The General Directorate for Cultural Heritage of Rhineland-Palatinate stands as the professionally responsible institution behind the project.
