Top 10 History Museums in Hesse, Germany
Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

We were thrilled to see and listen to mechanical music boxes, instruments, player pianos and band-in-a-box marvels from all over the world and from throughout history. The amazing condition and variety of music still available for many of the instruments in their collection was surprising. I have never seen or heard so many different types of mechanical music in one place. Great for kids as well as adults.

More sights at one place can hardly be found in Darmstadt: Hochzeitsturm (Wedding tower), Russian Orthodox Church (Built on Russian soil), Museum Künstlerkolonie (Museum artist colony), surrounded by some pretty Art Nouveau villas ... just rest at one of the nice places and enjoy the atmosphere - a short excursion is worthwhile in any case.

As a disability support worker, I wanted to go and pay my respects. It is well laid out, the pictures and stories are heartbreaking, but a very strong reminder of what happened and how we must never allow it to happen again. Possibly could use a few more descriptions translated into different languages, but I could understand most of it. A huge thank you to the young guy in the office for his assistance (remiss of me to not get his name). A huge thank you and well done to those who keep this memorial open and remember the most voiceless in our society.
9. Freilichtlabor Lauresham
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 17 reviews
The Lauresham open-air laboratory is located in the heart of the Lorsch Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site that was redesigned in 2014 and greatly expanded. The complex topic of manorialism, an important part of early medieval social structure, is being explained on the accessible 1:1 model covering an area of 4.1 hectares. This happens by means of an ideal-typical central yard of the 8/9th century. Additionally, Lauresham also represents a forum of experimental archaeological research for testing different mechanic and agricultural work techniques. Based on recent research results in settlement archaeology a team of experienced craftsmen established a building ensemble under supervision of academic bodies like the Institute for Archaeology at the University of Hamburg. This includes living and economic buildings, barns, and magazines as well as a chapel. In addition to these there are different kinds of economic useful areas – meadows, fields, and gardens.
