Special features include fossils from the Jura Sea, findings on the Limes border, Alemannic Graves, the time of the 'Hohenstaufen' with churches, monasteries and protective city walls, three church treasures – among them the Muenster treasure – the 'Palm Donkey', the 'true length of Corpus Christi' the silver cabinet with rosaries, filigree and Judaica, and graphic design by Hans Baldung Grien, Albrecht Dürer and Lucas Cranach sen.
