Hitzacker Archaeological Centre

The Hitzacker Archaeological Centre in Lower Saxony, Germany, is an open-air museum dedicated to showcasing Bronze Age settlements. It features reconstructions based on local archaeological evidence, including three single-room houses or longhouses, a burial hut, and a pit-house. These structures illustrate the integration of living quarters and livestock stalls, reflecting daily life nearly 3,000 years ago. The museum also includes household and handiwork items typical of the period. Visitors can engage in activities such as bronze casting, spinning, and weaving, providing a hands-on experience of Bronze Age life. The establishment of the museum in 1990 highlights the archaeological significance of the finds in the region, which were initially discovered in 1969 and further excavated in the late 1980s.
