Archaeological Sensation in Koblenz: Experience Spears in the Ditch live
At the House of Archaeology on the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, a find will take center stage in 2026 that has surprised even experts. The exhibition Spears in the Ditch presents wooden obstacles from the Roman camp at Blöskopf near Bad Ems for the first time in a comprehensive manner, making a piece of local archaeology tangible.
When Research Becomes an Exhibition
The fortification ditch at Blöskopf has been known for over 100 years, but only an investigation in 2019 uncovered the scientific sensation: well-preserved wooden spears that once served as traps for attackers. In Koblenz, these finds will now be presented in a historical context that not only explains archaeology but visibly stages it.
