    A museum that is all REAL fossils....
    The Hauff museum is smaller than a lot of Natural History museums but has a big difference. And that is that every fossil in it is an original, and comes from the local area. So the Ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs on display are not casts or copies from other museums. The stepped 5m deep by 16m long 'walk through' of the various stages of the Posidonia shale is fascinating, especially if you want to go to the local quarry and look for yourself. The highlight of the museum for me, because of the detail involved and the amount of preparation it must have taken, is the 18m long by 6m wide sea-lily colony, based on a 12m long long in its centre. If you like fossils rather than the standard 'dinosaur' type museum this is really worth a visit. I will be going back on my next fossil hunting trip around Holzmaden.

    For me it is a MUST! to visit this museum with my guests. It is phantastic!
    If you are on the way between Stuttgart and München you have to leave the motoway for two hours and visit this great museum. All my friends from any places of europe had seen the exebitions. It is nice for old and young as well.
