Description

The Archaeological Museum Hagen - Wasserschloss Werdringen is located in the Hagen district of Vorhalle - in the Ruhr valley at the foot of the legendary Kaisberg. The former noble residence from the 13th century is surrounded by a unique landscape of nature and history. In the vicinity of the castle complex, there are numerous paleontological, archaeological, and historical monuments. For over 200 years, the Hagen region has been considered one of the most important discovery landscapes in Germany. The history of the museum´s extensive collections dates back to the early 19th century. Some finds are also internationally significant for paleontology and archaeology. The exhibition showcases archaeological and paleontological finds from the region. The exhibition collection includes, among other things, the oldest fossils in Westphalia, early land plants from the Middle Devonian at the Volme and Lenne, gigantic ancient insects from the Upper Carboniferous in Hagen, and dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period in the Sauerland. The archaeological finds range from stone tools of the Neanderthal and early and middle Stone Age hunter groups to Neolithic and metallic age cave and open-air finds, as well as relics of castles from the High Middle Ages. The museum displays the oldest remains of modern humans from the post-Ice Age in Europe discovered so far. They are up to 13,000 years old and were discovered in the Blätterhöhle near Hagen.
