The Mercateum in Königsbrunn is an impressive globe - the world's largest - with an equally interesting interior! An exhibition provides information on long-distance and maritime trade, i.e. the trade in goods to India and other countries in Asia, Africa, Central and South America. The globe itself is modelled on a historical cartography.

+++ Winter break until March +++ Did you know that the Mithraeum in Königsbrunn is the only Roman Mithras sanctuary from the 2nd/3rd century AD still preserved in Bavaria? The Mithras cult originated in Asia Minor. For his followers, Mithras, the victorious bull-slayer in Persian costume, was the ruler of the world who controlled the universe from outside... The cave-like, dark room in which the meetings took place was a symbol of the birth of Mithras in a cave. The site, which has a protective structure, is open from March to October on the 4th Sunday of every month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Exception: closed on May 26th). ⁠

History comes alive here: The information and presentation pavilion "955" in Königsbrunn provides information in three large dioramas with thousands of hand-painted tin figures and state-of-the-art museum technology on the siege of Augsburg, the defeat of the Hungarian cavalry armies on the Lech River and the significance of the epochal event for Hungary and Europe. The aim of the museum is to illustrate the siege of Augsburg in 955 and to make the consequences of the battle on the Lechfeld understandable for German, Hungarian and European history. In addition to the military-political aspect of the Battle of the Lechfeld, the focus is on how German-Hungarian relations developed in the centuries following the Battle of the Lechfeld.
