Celtic World at Glauberg – Museum, Research Centre and Archaeological Park

Welcome to the Celtic World at Glauberg – a unique place where archaeology, history, and nature merge into a fascinating experience. Our museum, research center, and archaeological park invites you to immerse yourself in the mysterious world of the Celts and rediscover the traces of a long-vanished culture. Extraordinary archaeological finds from the Iron Age await you at the Celtic World Museum at Glauberg. The centerpiece is the world-famous "Celtic Prince of Glauberg" – a life-size sandstone statue of a Celtic warrior with a characteristic leaf-shaped cap. Together with rich grave goods and artfully crafted artifacts, it tells of power, faith, and craftsmanship from over 2,400 years ago. These unique discoveries are among the most important testimonies of Celtic culture in Europe and make Glauberg one of the most significant archaeological sites in Hesse and beyond. 

The research center at Glauberg is part of an international network that explores the Celtic past and disseminates the latest archaeological findings. Modern media stations, digital information in several languages, and interactive elements make a museum visit a lively and easily accessible experience – for families, school groups, and specialists alike. 

The Archaeological Park is also a place where history comes alive. The Celtic World Trail leads you through the picturesque Wetterau landscape – past the reconstructed burial mound and the remains of the former hilltop settlement. Here, the experience of nature merges with the fascination of archaeology.

After your exploration, the museum bistro on the sun terrace invites you to linger. Enjoy regional specialties with a magnificent view over the Glauberg plateau – where history, science and nature come together to form a unique whole.

Experience the Celtic world at Glauberg with its museum, research center, and archaeological park – a place where past and present meet. Immerse yourself in the world of the Celts and discover how vibrant history can be.
