Archaeology to Marvel: Spears in the Moat in Koblenz
At the House of Archaeology on the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, Spears in the Moat highlights a find that vividly brings the Roman fortification history along the Middle Rhine to life. The exhibition tells the story of an archaeological sensation that came to light through an investigation in Bad Ems in 2019 and is now being presented in Koblenz for the first time in full.
A Find that Makes History Tangible
The presentation takes visitors into the world of Roman military technology. The focus is on the preserved wooden spears that once served as obstacles in the moat. It is exactly this combination of research, original finds, and illustrative communication that makes the event experience so special: one does not just see objects, but experiences archaeological research as a tangible history.
Ehrenbreitstein Fortress as an Impressive Backdrop
The Ehrenbreitstein Fortress offers a historical ambiance with a wide view over Koblenz and the Rhine Valley. The cultural center is predominantly accessible and thus well-suited for families, older guests, and people with mobility restrictions. Ramps, elevators, and barrier-free paths shape the visitor experience and facilitate access to the exhibition.
For Curious Explorers and Families
The advance reporting makes it clear: this event is not only aimed at archaeology fans, but also at children and families who want to experience history vividly and excitingly. Particularly the mixture of original finds, scientific background, and lively communication ensures a special audience atmosphere, where wonder and learning go hand in hand.

Those visiting on September 27, 2026, will experience the exhibition at a time when the fortress and its museum areas showcase their cultural-historical appeal particularly strongly.
Conclusion: Spears in the Moat combines archaeological discovery, historical backdrop, and family-friendly communication into a special excursion into the past. Anyone wanting to experience Koblenz from its cultural-historical side should discover this exhibition live.
