Museum Adlerturm

The Adlerturm (Eagle Tower) in Dortmund is a reconstructed defensive tower from the medieval city wall, built in 1992 on the original 14th-century foundations. Rising 30 meters, the tower houses an interactive children's museum on local history across six floors. You can experience medieval life at numerous hands-on stations, trying on armor, handling swords, or reenacting archaeological digs. Highlights include a recreation of the Dortmund Feud of 1388 on a large city map, as well as historical scenes you can smell and listen to. The exhibits are rounded out by archaeological finds, a model of the medieval city, and period depictions that illustrate what Dortmund looked like in the past.
