The traces people left on the Minster Square date back more than four millennia. A long time before Ulm, the Minster, or the Minster Square even existed. Some of it was discovered during the excavations for the foundations of the Stadthaus. The exhibition in the basement includes selected finds, slide shows, and short films. Like all our exhibitions it is open daily, free admission.
The 500-year-old glass beaker called Krautstrunk belonged to a family who could afford to use it on festive occasions. Back then, little children in Ulm played with marbles and puppets made of clay. The adults played with dice. Besides games and alcohol the inhabitants of Ulm were neither averse to smoking.
Our brochure gives a good overview and can be purchased on the third floor or at the tourist information on the ground floor.
