One of the most beautiful buildings in Worms - the former St Andrew's Abbey, a late Romanesque building complex from the High Middle Ages - is home to the city's historical museum. Using important exhibits from Worms and the surrounding area, we take you on a journey of discovery through 7000 years of settlement history. The two new cloister wings on the ground floor present the history of the city, the history of the museum and the city model. On the upper floors, there are numerous interesting exhibits from the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages, which were found in Worms and the surrounding area. No less impressive is the Roman section of the museum as well as finds from the time of the Franks, who colonised Worms around 500 AD. The history of the city in the Middle Ages is honoured in the museum, as is Luther's historically significant appearance before the Diet of Worms in 1521.
The old cloisters and the cloister courtyard with its water feature are also open and even freely accessible. Especially on hot days, this place is a climatic oasis in the middle of the city centre and a unique, beautiful place to linger. The Andreasstift Museum is thus supporting the city of Worms' heat action plan. Of course, the cloister with its seating can also be visited at other times of the year without paying admission.
