On a tour of discovery through the Wittelsbach Museum in Aichach! Rediscover Aichach and the surrounding area through archaeology.
About the app
The app offers everyone who cannot visit our museum on site the opportunity to take a tour of the house.
You have various options to choose from:
• After being greeted at 21 stations, an audio guide takes you through 4 floors.
• Alternatively, a virtual tour gives you the opportunity to look around the floors using 360° panorama images and to head for the 21 stations. You can also watch ideal-typical reconstructions of Wittelsbach Castle and the views from the 4th floor in video format.
• In addition to the recorded audio texts, there are also reading texts for those who prefer to read themselves.
About the museum
The Lower Gate, built around 1418, was part of the late medieval Aichach town fortifications. From 1989 to 2019 it housed the Wittelsbacher Museum, a branch of the Archaeological State Collection in Munich. The museum has been under municipal sponsorship since 2019 and will continue to operate under the same name. The gate tower now presents a modern exhibition on four floors. In addition to archaeological findings on the history of settlements in the Aichach urban area, the focus is on the Grubet, a former iron ore mining area, and above all on the excavations at the ancestral seat of the Wittelsbach family in Oberwittelsbach.
