The Roman Museum Remchingen (German: Römermuseum Remchingen) is a Museum in Remchingen, Germany from Jeff Klotz.

History[edit]

In 2007, when a house was being built in Remchingen, a Roman wall was uncovered, according to studies it was part of a Roman-era house. After that, more Roman things were found in the area. After the foundation walls had been completely exposed, the Roman Museum Remchingen project was launched. The museum was opened in 2009 under the leadership of Jeff Klotz.

In 2016, a floor and other Roman artifacts were found in the museum area. The floor was shown as part of a traveling exhibition in Berlin, among other places. A small park was created at the site where other finds, such as a piece of a Roman court floor, are presented.
