Wikinger Museum Haithabu – Auf den Spuren der Wikinger bei Schleswig

A journey into the world of the Vikings: The Viking Museum Haithabu near Schleswig is one of the most important archaeological museums in Germany, bringing to life the history of one of the key trading metropolises of Northern Europe.
Over 1,000 years ago, Haithabu was a significant trading hub between the North and Baltic Seas. Today, the historical site, along with the Danewerk, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. In the modern exhibition hall, visitors can expect fascinating archaeological original finds, models, and multimedia insights into the lives of the Vikings.
