Archaeological Thrill at Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
With Spears in the Moat, a find in Koblenz comes to the forefront that brings archaeology to life: In the presentation at the House of Archaeology, the wooden spears discovered in 2019 and other finds from the excavation context are being shown to the public for the first time in a comprehensive manner. The exhibition runs at the cultural center Ehrenbreitstein Fortress and combines scientific precision with an impressive event experience.

A Find that Makes History Tangible
The exhibition tells the story of a Roman fortification at Blöskopf near Bad Ems, whose defensive moat provided an archaeological breakthrough after more than 100 years of research. The preserved wooden spears demonstrate how sophisticated historical defense systems could function. This very moment between research and wonder shapes the special mood of the audience in Koblenz.

A Visit to the House of Archaeology
Anyone who visits the exhibition immerses themselves in the world of state archaeology at the House of Archaeology. The museum at the fortress is considered a place where cultural history, exhibition design, and education work closely together. The exhibition thus fits ideally into the environment of a fortress that has been known for years for strong educational formats and family-friendly offerings.
