History museum Bad Sobernheim

The history museum of Bad Sobernheim is located at the "Priorhof". The "Priorhof" is one of the most important and most beautiful aristocracy courts of the 16th century. It has been built in 1572/73 and was part of the convent "Marienpforte".
Some years later, Messrs. Cratz von Scharfenstein and other houses took possession of it. The stairtower as well as the triangular bay have to be mentioned particularly. The history of the town is presented in the museum.
The barn next door has been rebuilt as a modern place of exhibition. The life and work of Katharina Schroth are presented. Numerous pictures and documents present her revolutionary work and per spectacular healing methods.

Pictures, sculptures and musical notations of well-known artists, such as Johann von der Eltz, Jakob Melcher and Rudolf Desch are presented in the Priorhof.

Life and work of Emanuel Felke receive particular attention through the presentation of documents, books and magazines.

All visitors are fascinated from the large collection of geological history (unique fossils and gem-stone findings) of the Nahe region.

Upon request, Mr. Heimer will be prepared to guide you on every other day of the week.
