Its archaeological collection, which the Tübingen regional council entered into the monument book in 2002 because of its special scientific importance, comprises around 15,000 objects from more than 300 sites, mainly from Upper Swabia and the Danube Valley , but also from Belgium and France . It is presented in the archeology department of the Braith Mali Museum in Biberach an der Riss . He was married and had three sons.

The archaeological collection was donated to the city of Biberach on February 19, 2016 by the “Erbengemeinschaft Forschner” (Berthilde Flad, Diethelm, Wilfried and Andreas Forschner).
