In the organizer's words:
Hunters of the Stone Age and treasures of the Bronze Age
Beginning with the beginnings of human settlement in the Ingolstadt area, the City Museum offers a unique insight into the Stone and Bronze Ages. It depicts the transformation of the environment according to the needs of rural agriculture and the development of the division of labor, social differentiation and long-distance trade through the emergence of metal processing.
The presentation focuses on the extraction and processing of flint as well as the treasure and deposit finds from the Bronze Age, including the unique Ingolstadt amber necklace.
Celts and Romans
The Celts were the first to establish a large settlement in the region that could be described as a town - the oppidum near Manching. Numerous finds, coin treasures and sanctuaries bear witness to this prehistoric heyday. In Roman times, the Ingolstadt area was a borderland. The city museum offers a comprehensive introduction to military and civilian life. The original water basin of a mill is impressive. The collection is supplemented by numerous tips for excursions to sites in the region.
Ingolstadt's early days
Discover valuable grave finds from late antiquity and the Bavarian period (5th - 7th century AD). The exceptionally richly decorated chamber tomb at Pförring points to late antique military elites and early Christianity. The fertile and geographically important region on Bavaria's border with the Franks continued to be inhabited by numerous noble warriors and their followers. In the 8th century, Ingolstadt emerged as an important royal estate at the crossing over the Danube.
