Museen zu Gast: Römerthermen Zülpich – Museum der Badekultur. Mit Dr. Silva Bruder und Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ristow

In the organizer's words:

Zülpich (Euskirchen district) is home to the only museum of bathing culture in Europe. Based on the best-preserved Roman thermal bath complex north of the Alps, the museum has been presenting the cultural history of bathing from the Romans to the present day since its opening in 2008.
of bathing from the Romans to the present day.

The centerpiece and most important exhibit of the museum are the remains of a Roman bathhouse built in the second century AD. Much of what can only be seen as reconstructions elsewhere in our latitudes can be viewed here in the original - including the typical underfloor heating systems as well as the sophisticated water supply and sewage system.

Archaeologist Silva Bruder took over the management of the Römerthermen Zülpich - Museum der Badekultur on October 1, 2024 and will present her museum. Afterwards
she and Sebastian Ristow will talk about Roman bathing culture, the important archaeological monument and its integration into the museum.
