Museum Gensungen and its collection

Museum Gensungen is situated in a half-timbered house in the heart of Gensungen. The museum complex is comprised of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, a day laborer's house from the first half of the 19th century, and the adjoining museum courtyard. The courtyard is surrounded by a bakery with a wood-burning oven, a pergola, and the museum barn, adding to the historical ambiance of the place.

Exhibits in the Main Building

The main building of Museum Gensungen houses nearly 500 exhibits that depict the prehistoric and early historical settlement of the old district of Melsungen, with a particular emphasis on the lower Edertal. These exhibits provide evidence of a continuous settlement of the region from the Old Stone Age to the early Middle Ages, offering a comprehensive view of the area's history.

Free Guided Tours

From May to October, the AG for Prehistory and Early History offers free guided tours on four paths. These tours provide an excellent opportunity for visitors to explore the surrounding areas and learn more about the historical significance of the region.
