Churchyard Excavation Museum (Grabungsmuseum Kirchhof)

During the construction of the Coburg office building, the cemetery of St. Moriz and the foundation walls of the former provost chapel of the Saalfeld Benedictines (13th century) were uncovered. The results of the excavations are presented in Coburg’s Churchyard Excavation Museum (Grabungsmuseum Kirchhof), which was opened in 1994. The small archaeological museum shows the building history and excavation documentation of the eastern churchyard, objects found and a reconstruction drawing of the complex. Among other things, the foundations of the chapel of the medieval Coburg Benedictine Provostry, which was demolished in 1827, high medieval graves, parts of the medieval town fortifications as well as medieval and early modern ceramics, household items, jewellery, and coins are on display.
