Hitzacker Archaeological Centre

The Hitzacker Archaeological Centre is an archaeological open-air museum in Hitzacker in the German state of Lower Saxony. The core theme of the museum is the presentation of Bronze Age settlements.

The museum has three reconstructed single-room houses or longhouses that combine livestock stalls and living accommodation under one roof, a burial hut and a pit-house, as they would have looked based on local archaeological finds. The longhouses have been further enhanced by various, everyday household and handiwork items. One of the longhouses contains an exhibition of the important aspects of life in the Bronze Age some 3,000 years ago. The museum gives visitors a diverse range of historical activities such as bronze casting, bread baking, Feuerschlagen, spinning and weaving as well as modern activities to participate in and try out.
