Technik Museum is a 'technical' museum, as such they feature all sorts of 'technology' exhibits…read more They have a massive automobile exhibit, among others, but I went for their aviation exhibits, more specifically to see the Concorde next to the Soviet built version of the Concorde - the Tupulev TU-144. It is the only place in the entire world where these two aircraft are displayed together. I was blown away by this exhibit. To see these two marvels of aviation next to each other made me emotional. The museum have displayed these aircraft in such a beautiful way, mounted high above the roof of the museum at an angle that makes them appear as if they are taking off. It is the way these beautiful aircraft should be displayed. Both aircraft are fully accessible and available to see. There is a spiral staircase leading to each rear cargo compartment where you can walk the entire length of the aircraft all the way to each flight deck. Because of that angle I just mentioned, you will be quite winded by the time you reach the front of the airplane! Thank you Technik Museum Sinsheim for preserving and displaying these amazing aircraft. There are plenty of other aircraft on display as well. You could spend an entire day here and not see everything. My only complaint is that the IMAX movies are only in German with no additional subtitles in other languages. Had I known that I would have probably skipped the 45 minute movie. The good news is that there were a lot of amazing 3D Hubble Telescope scenes to look at. Every once in a while I'd catch an English word but basically I was there for the ride!

You could literally spend an entire weekend here because around every corner, theres more fun stuff! It's really incredible to see vehicles that are iconic and the museum takes such great care of every artifact. If I could have a gripe, it's a lack of personnel at some of the exhibits you stand in line for. The Concord for example, some parents allowed their kids to run up and down this thing. This is not only a safety issue but they could damage the historical items. When you're done, stop and get a bite as it was tasty but a bit of a wait.

Awesome museum for the size of this town! It is a solid 2 hours to walk through and see…read moreeverything... I still think I missed a couple areas. It is set in a very old building near the main church. The subject matter goes from the roman involvement in the city 2000 years ago until modern times. I would highly recommend if you are in the area to stop in and take a look around. One tip- when you walk in it appears small, but the 3rd floor is where it opens up and you really appreciate the size of the collection.

The museum houses an array of artifacts and replicas of torture decides and items used as punishment during medieval times. These items range from humiliating masks to torture chairs and finger presses, then up to a Iron Madden. There is also a lot to read and see on the justice system and rules that dictated crimes and punishments. All of it was very fascinating and there was a lot to learn. Some of our favorites were all the masks used to draw attention and humiliate an offended, such as one that whistled every time the wearer breathed, so everyone knew where they were. The plaques where in German with most having English translations below. Oh, and turns out you can bring your dog in as we found out with others walking around. They also have a great cafe after you are done in another building. This is a great stop for a hot chocolate or coffee and to try a mini schneeballen. Highly recommend adding this museum to your list while in Rothenberg!

We took a break from Christmas market and visited this museum right when it opened. It's €7/adult,…read morecollected at the door. You start in the basement and go down these steep and rather dim stairs. The lighting is a bit dim down there giving an overall eerie vibe to the place. I suppose that's intentional. Displays are well laid out and most of the plaques are in a German, English and Japanese. At the far end of the basement, there are stairs to get to the 2 floors above with more displays. The lighting is a bit better up there. There's a lot to look at so if you get tired, wooden benches are placed all around to take breaks. The WCs are also upstairs. Everything is informative and interesting. There's quite a bit of duplication. People have found so many ways to hurt each other throughout history. I also found it a bit depressing in contrast to the spirit of the Christmas market. Glad I went as it's a popular museum and recommended by friends who went but I won't be coming back.
