Public guided tour

Sunday, July 29, 11:30 a.m.

Admission plus 4 euros | duration: approx. 1 hour | no registration required | limited number of participants

The Roman Limes between the Rhine and Danube has now been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for 20 years. But what does that actually mean? And what does Wiesbaden have to do with it? Together we will not only try to answer these questions, but also take a look at the history and development of this Roman border. What was life like for soldiers at the Limes and how did they get on with the neighboring Germanic tribes? All curious minds are welcome!

Family tour

Saturday, July 12, 2025, 2 p.m.

Admission plus 3 euros for adults | free admission for children and young people | duration approx. 1 hour | no registration required | limited number of participants

Do you know what a Limes is and who the Romans were? Have you ever touched Roman armor and do you know how heavy a chain mail shirt is? Together we will explore why the Romans built a huge border near here and who the people were who had to guard it. We will look at the original objects that the Romans left us, but we can also touch and try out many replicas!

Open workshop

Saturday, July 12, 3-5 p.m.

following the family tour

Cost: 4 euros per designed piece | without registration
Duration: approx. 30 to 40 minutes, depending on individual speed

Would you like to create a Roman mosaic or a Roman round mill yourself? Then come to our "open workshops" during the Easter and summer vacations. You can get creative yourself after the family tours. It doesn't matter whether you took part in the guided tour, are a Roman expert or simply fancy trying out something new: Anyone can join in at any time. (Recommended from the age of six)
