Description Destination

From the oldest works of art in southern Baden to medieval Freiburg: the Archaeological Museum in the Colombischlössle, built in 1859/61, takes you on a journey through the millennia.
Whether Paleolithic female statuettes, precious items from Celtic princely graves, evidence of Roman achievements or regional finds from the early Middle Ages – the originals are vividly presented. Models and interactive stations illustrate the living conditions of each era.
Changing special exhibitions on special themes round off the repertoire.
The museum offers a diverse program for adults, families and school classes. People of all ages can experience archaeology at a Roman fashion show, on costume tours or in the experimental Stone Age workshop.
- barrier-free access, wheelchair accessible with the help of a lift
History of the house
The villa, built in the English Neo-Gothic style between 1859 and 1861 according to plans by the Freiburg architect Georg Jakob Schneider (1809 - 1883), stands on the former St. Louis Bastion, one of the few remains of Vauban's 17th-century city fortifications. The villa was soon named "Colombischlössle" after its owner, Countess Maria Antonia Gertrudis de Colombi y de Bode (1809 - 1863). From 1909 to 1924, the municipal antiquities collection was on display here. After being used as a building construction and registry office, Leo Wohleb ruled the independent state of Baden from here from 1947 to 1952. Afterwards, the city archives and the higher regional court moved in. Since 1983, the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, renamed the Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle in 2007, has been displaying its treasures here.

      What was life like before the city? The last part of the exhibition trilogy freiburg.archäologie answers this question from two perspectives – temporal and spatial.
      As early as 16,000 years ago, people hunted reindeer on the Tuniberg, settled in the surrounding area in the Bronze and Iron Ages, and lived on the border of the Roman Empire in late antiquity. In the third century AD, the Alemanni found a home in Breisgau and another 400 years later the Merovingians buried their warriors here. They have all left traces: from Stone Age saw blades to Roman pottery shards to early medieval arrowheads. Archaeological finds provide a picture of the lives of the people in the region. With the Zähringer Burgberg, whose use ranges from the Neolithic period to the Middle Ages, the circle closes to the beginnings of Freiburg.
      The region’s fertile soils and diverse raw materials helped the young city to grow. Visitors can explore the significance of the surrounding area using a digitally animated terrain model.
