Archaeological Sensation in Koblenz: Discover Spears in the Ditch live
With the exhibition Spears in the Ditch, the House of Archaeology at the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress opens an exciting chapter of state history. The focus is on an extraordinary find from archaeology: excellently preserved wooden spears that served as obstacles for potential attackers and are now being exhibited comprehensively for the first time.
A find that makes history tangible
The presentation starts exactly where scientific curiosity meets public interest. In the midst of historic walls, museum staging, and professionally founded preparation, an event experience emerges that conveys knowledge not dryly, but makes it perceptible as a living discovery. Those interested in archaeology, the Roman era, and fortifications will find here a strong example of successful mediation and precise event planning.
The House of Archaeology as an experiential space
In the House of Archaeology, modern exhibition work meets the unique atmosphere of the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The show is part of the series The Current Find and brings archaeological research close to visitors. The view of the spears from Blöskopf near Bad Ems connects regional history with a rare original find and shows how excavation, documentation, and presentation create a convincing overall picture.
Barrier-free arrival and historical ambiance
The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress is considered a well-accessible excursion destination with barrier-free approved areas. The House of Archaeology is accessible via ramps, and the arrival is possible via the Koblenz cable car and the incline lift. Thus, the exhibition is aimed at a broad audience - from families to cultural travelers to archaeology enthusiasts who want to combine a relaxed museum visit with a view and history.
