Medieval Crime Museum (Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum), Rothenburg

This museum is fascinating! They offer learning of both the evolution of punishment and laws through history with a focus on medieval Europe. My kids (both under 10) really liked the exhibits about school discipline and the dioramas. Many displays prompted us to have family conversations about why standard laws and rules are important for peoples lives and how they can foster expectations of behavior and order. We all thought the gossip masks were hilarious and maybe they should be brought back (j/k). Most signs are in both German and English and offer more information then I read but I really enjoyed all of it!

Absolutely recommended if you are a history fan and love to visit museums. A great museum to learn about the medieval Germany and how the society was working during those times. How the law was enforced through many cruel and nail biting punishments. Everything is explained in English and German, so you have it all. You need 1-2 hours if you want to see it and read the things in detail, which is completely worth it. The staff is nice, polite and helpful.
