This is a museum about the history of the city of Konstanz. It costs 3 euro to go through. You…read moreenter through the gift shop that has a lot of random stuff for sale such as kids ceramic owl piggy banks and dinosaur puzzles. My 3 year old daughter and I were the only ones in the place. There were very few things on display. A random mannequin of a woman in 14th century garb holding a fish, some paintings of medieval men and a skeleton are stand outs. I couldn't tell you anything about these pieces because everything is in German. There is also an old wooden sleigh that my daughter believes belonged to Santa Claus. There is a movie with English subtitles which was helpful and gives you the rundown of the city. The museum mostly covers the 1400s, then, randomly, on the 2nd floor there is a whole display with photos of the city during WW2 and Hitler/Nazi rule. It looks more like a celebration of this moment in history. Very strange. What is also strange is I was followed by an employee the entire time I was in the museum. Remember, my 3 year old and I were the only ones there. I am not sure if they thought I was going to take photos of their Nazi shrine or what. In any event, nice way to kill an hour while learning about Konstanz circa the early 1400's. Fun fact, in addition to their weird pride of their time with Hitler, they also love and idolize prostitutes. The cement statue by the lake that slowly spins is actually that of a prostitute or rather, courtesan.
