Late Middle Ages

Learn how to change flax to linen using traditional techniques. You’ll learn to be a ‘scutcher’ or a ‘breaker’ and change the plant fibre into a simple string. You’ll also have a chance to spin flax on a drop spindle and to learn some simple weaving techniques.

An interdisciplinary conference on the transformative power of fire.

Fire always leaves its mark and a wealth of information behind. Our aim is to bring together research on experimental archaeology, archaeomaterials, archaeobotany, anthracology, pyrotechnology, taphonomic investigations including burned bone, combustion features, or accidental burning. 

Recent discussions about health, food safety and an awareness of vanishing traditions have resulted in an increasing interest in traditional foods and food heritage.

The Nordisk Brickvävningskonferens is supposed to be held every other year in the various Nordic countries. The purpose is to meet other tablet weavers, learn more about different  finds, techniques and more. There will be interesting courses with very skilled teachers.

On 12-13 October 2019, the Fifth Medieval fair "Remember the Glory" will take place on the territory of the Tuida fortress.

The LVR-RömerMuseum organises the international conference"Exploring Heritage - Museums mediating archaeology - Wege digitaler Archäologievermittlung im Museum".

In the last weekend of March the Pre-Historic Village opens again. We do that festively, because the Hospitaller Knights have been in existence for 10 years and that must be celebrated! Together with friendly knight troops, they show the camp life of knights in the 13th century. How were they made a knight? How is a mailer made? The knights also offer real children's training.
