Roman-Germanic Museum

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman-Germanic Museum Cologne on Roncalliplatz (2010)

The Roman-Germanic Museum of the City of Cologne ( RGM ) is the Archaeological Museum of the City of Cologne and the Office for Archaeological Ground Monument Maintenance for the Cologne city area and thus the archive of the material heritage of prehistory as well as the Roman and Franconian eras.

Combined with the Roman Dionysus mosaic and the “Hafenstrasse” leading to the Rhine port of Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium (CCAA), the RGM emerged in 1946 from the Roman and Germanic Department of the Wallraf-Richartz Museum and the Museum of Prehistory and Early History . In terms of architecture, the award-winning museum building, which opened on March 4, 1974, is designed as a “shop window into Roman times”. Its surrounding columns are reminiscent of the Roman peristyle house below with the well-known Dionysus mosaic. This mosaic can be seen from Roncalliplatz in the museum basement.

On the Poblicius floor above there are rooms for special exhibitions and congress events. On the upper floor, archaeological finds grouped chronologically and thematically convey the development of the "City of Ubier " founded under Emperor Augustus into the sacred and economic center of the province of Lower Germany . Finds from the Roman Rhine port and wooden bridge parts of the Rhine bridge of Emperor Constantine to the Divitia bridgehead on the right bank of the Rhine are evidence of this . The Roman city wall is visualized by the cast of a round tower (set up as a special exhibition room) and the central arch of the northern city gate with the inscription CCAA . The trunk roads connecting the Roman Empire are made evident by a roadworthy, reconstructed touring car .

The museum building has been closed for general renovation since 2019, the Belgian House at Neumarkt serves as an alternative quarter.

History of the museum

The Roman-Germanic Museum goes back to the "Cologne Antiquities Collection" set up in the Arrondissement de Cologne together with the circular for the protection of antiquities from April 25, 1807 and the collection of Roman antiquities from Ferdinand Franz Wallraf , taken over by the city of Cologne , from the the Roman department of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum, which opened in 1861, emerged. This department received its own head before the First World War. From 1923 the department took over the archaeological excavations in the city area and increasingly made Cologne aware of the fact that the city was founded in Rome. The establishment of the Roman-Germanic Museum in connection with the Dionysus mosaic in the Dombunker also served this purpose in 1946. The museum opened in the cathedral bunker on November 24, 1961. The new building was opened on March 4, 1974.

After it was initially announced in July 2017 that the existing museum will be closed for an estimated seven years from December due to renovation and new administration building, the operating license for the museum was initially extended to December 31, 2018 in December. In accordance with a council resolution of July 5, 2018, the former Belgian consulate building "Belgisches Haus", which was rented as an alternative accommodation and was rebuilt and renovated under the direction of the Cologne architect Bernhard Trübenbach, in the immediate vicinity of Neumarkt, was used as an interim museum and opened on November 14, 2019.

The museum

The museum and the Roman city villa with the Dionysus mosaic

The museum building, completed under Hugo Borger in 1974, is based on the peristyle house with the Dionysus mosaic on the Roman port road leading to the Rhine. The mosaic, created around 220/230 AD, was discovered in 1941 when the air raid shelter at the cathedral was built and was preserved with it. An incision in the bunker ceiling reveals the Dionysus mosaic.

The award-winning museum building by the Braunschweig architects Heinz Röcke and Klaus Renner emerged from a competition. The building brings to mind the area that was once occupied by the city villa with the Dionysus mosaic in the Roman city quarter on Hafenstrasse: Anyone walking on Roman Hafenstrasse is walking on the horizon of the mosaic. At the same time, the right-angled street scheme of the Roman city can be experienced. The Hafenstrasse merged into the trunk road that cut through the city as Cardo Maximus and today's Hohe Strasse from the Roman north gate .

The tomb of the legionnaire Poblicius (around 40 AD) , which was rebuilt in the museum, stood on the trunk road beyond the Roman south gate to Bonn . In this way, the RGM also visualizes the ancient urban planning foundations of medieval and modern Cologne in the modern world.

The study building, which was moved into in 1971, houses the specialist library and study collections. They contain the archaeological finds that go beyond the holdings of the permanent exhibition.

The Archaeological Display Collection

The modern thematic presentation concept, the outdoor monuments and the shop window to Roman times caused an international sensation in 1974. The museum's usual chronological-linear sequence now opens up thematic islands accessible from all sides, together with the thematic multimedia presentations , the Asterix library in the round tower and the innovative "Roman Illustrated" media , a new museum concept that attracted much attention in the 1970s . The design as a theme-oriented free tour is retained.

On the Dionysus floor of the museum, objects from everyday domestic life and the food culture of the Roman city are arranged in thematic areas, such as a dining room and a kitchen room with a crockery shelf.

The exhibition on the upper floor shows the settlement history of the Cologne area since prehistory through finds from the Stone Age (e.g. Kartstein Cave ), the Bronze Age and the Iron Age . The finds of the ribbon ceramic settlement in Cologne-Lindenthal have European rank .

The history of the town begins with the settlement of the presumably Germanic Ubier by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa . The thematic concept conveys the rise of the city of Ubier with its central altar to the capital of the province Germania inferior and the late antique administrative seat of Germania secunda . Architectural parts of public and private buildings convey the impression of the submerged buildings and the cityscape.

Roman inscriptions on buildings and grave monuments testify to public life . The cults of the gods pass on altars , votive steles and sculptures made of stone, bronze and clay. Portraits of the emperor Augustus and his wife Livia as well as Agrippina the Elder , wife of Germanicus , represent the imperial period of the 1st century. The “philosopher mosaic” found in 1844, wall paintings and the reconstruction of a Kline reflect a triclinium and convey the wealth and education in town and country houses .

The economic center of Cologne is best presented with the globally unique quality of glass production : form-blown glass, snake-thread glass, ground glass (including the circus bowl), the conchyllium beaker, the clam goblet, and Nuppe glasses . Particularly noteworthy is the three-colored diatret glass . Just as large is the variety of clay pots and lamps that are imported or manufactured in Cologne with the collection of Hofrat Wollmann . Pictorial representations of gladiators are reminiscent of the animal hunt in the Roman Empire . The Roman jewelry was also mainly salvaged from the Roman necropolis of Cologne.

The large collection of Baron Johannes von Diergardt , which was acquired for the museum in 1935, brings to mind jewelery from the time of the Great Migration . With the Diergardt Collection, the museum owns the world's largest private collection of migration-era art, which will be on fire in spring 2009 under the title Europe. Art of the Migration Period was presented to the public with a special exhibition. The ancient and early medieval works of art range from the Scythians to the Vikings and from western Europe to the steppes of Russia. The baron's 150th birthday was honored with the special exhibition.

Finds of the Franks and Merovingians bear witness to the post-Roman and Christian become Cologne.

Mediation

The museum service supports the development of the museum property and the exhibitions for schools and visitor groups. The Archaeological Society, founded in 1950, and the Cologne Cultural Foundation of the Kreissparkasse Köln promote museum work. The museum shop was run by the Köselsche Buchhandlung until 2017.

The archaeological conservation of monuments

The city of Cologne is the archaeological area of ​​responsibility of the RGM.
The largest excavation area in Europe is connected with the construction of the north-south light rail.

The permanent collection of the RGM is also the showcase of the archaeological monument preservation in the area of ​​the city of Cologne, which, instead of the Rhineland Regional Association, is responsible for the preservation of historical monuments except for the archaeological zone , which performs this task independently for this area. As a specialist archaeological office , the RGM belongs to the Association of State Archaeologists of the Federal Republic of Germany and presented the State Archeology Exhibitions in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005.

The RGM maintains the local archaeological archive as topographical documentation of the archaeological finds in the area of ​​the city of Cologne. This also includes the archaeological layer atlas. The Archaeological Institute of the University of Cologne and the Cologne University of Applied Sciences are developing a 3D model of ancient Cologne in cooperation with the RGM to illustrate the Roman city center and individual buildings.

The excavations

The currently largest excavation project is devoted to underground archeology, due to the construction of the north-south light rail . New finds are exhibited in the "Köln-aktuell" showcase in the Pobliciushalle of the RGM. There is also a vertical profile section through the Roman Rhine harbor (Kurt-Hackenberg-Platz). Lecture events by the classical scholars involved and publications open up the excavations as well as special exhibitions on the underground excavations.

As part of its tasks, the RGM looks after key archaeological areas in the city and supports the conservation, restoration, documentation and museum presentation, such as the excavation areas Groß St. Martin , St. Severin , Römerturm or the Alteburg naval fort in the Marienburg district as the location of the Roman Navy . The excavation of the Roman baths has increased the knowledge of the public buildings and the Roman water supply of the CCAA. Connected to the underground excavation is the uncovering of the Roman Rhine port with its unique Roman wooden finds of quays and ships.

The Roman-Germanic Museum as a research facility

As a research institution, the RGM works with the Archaeological Institute, the Institute for Classical Studies and the Dendrochronology and Archaeobotany Research Centers at the University of Cologne , with the Technical University of Cologne in the areas of restoration and visualization, and with numerous other scientific partners.

The RGM organizes - also in connection with other institutions - conferences and international congresses. The results are documented in the context of special publications, exhibition catalogs or the scientific publication series. The museum property is made accessible by a bibliography sorted by topic.

With the RGM is u. a. the Römerstraße Cologne – Trier adventure space project linked to the Regionale 2010 . It is used to research the Roman road from Trier to Cologne .

Special exhibitions

The museum shows two to four special exhibitions on various topics from the Old World every year. Catalogs and booklets are published for the exhibitions.

Digital information systems

The RGM is linked to various archaeological information systems.

  • The inscriptions of Cologne were made accessible by Hartmut Galsterer in the Roman inscriptions database (RID24).
  • Finds by the RGM from Cologne and the Roman Empire in the Arachne image database and in the Prometheus image archive based on it .
  • The Cologne Digital Archaeological Layer Atlas is an information system for the conservation of archaeological monuments of the RGM. It is not open to the public.
  • The findings and reconstructions of Roman Cologne are brought together in the Colonia3d model using a digital terrain model. This is available to the visitor right next to the Dionysus mosaic. The model is connected to a representation of the current Cologne and thus allows a direct comparison. A computer animation can be viewed on the Internet. The technique used is published by project staff. The 3D model is the result of a joint research project by the Römisch Germanisches Museum (RGM) Cologne in conjunction with the Archaeological Institute of the University of Cologne, the Cologne International School of Design (KISD) of the Cologne University of Applied Sciences, the Hasso-Plattner Institute of the University of Potsdam and the RheinEnergieStiftung Jugend / Beruf / Familie.

Special events

Covering the mosaic after the storm damage

G8 summit

Cologne was the site of the G8 summit in June 1999 . At that time, the heads of state involved held a banquet on the Dionysus mosaic, which was covered with a protective cover.

Damage from Hurricane Kyrill

During the hurricane Kyrill on the night of January 18-19, 2007, the wooden cover of the fountain on the cathedral plate was torn off. The beams, hit by a gust, hurled across Roncalliplatz into the panorama windows of the museum, broke through the glass front and damaged the Dionysus mosaic. The restoration was carried out by the Erfurt University of Applied Sciences, Department of Conservation and Restoration under the direction of Christoph Merzenich and Sebastian Strobl in collaboration with the Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro in Rome . This institute had already undertaken the renovation and elevation of the Dionysus mosaic at the end of the 1950s.
