Experience Roman Medicine up close at Colombischlössle
On Sunday, July 5, 2026, the Archaeological Museum Colombischlössle in Freiburg opens its doors for a matinee that brings ancient medicine to life.

When ointment, scalpel, and blessing come together
With archaeologist Maya Sandhaas, participants will dive into an era where doctors treated wounds, baths were part of health culture, and healing was much more than just technique. The perspective on Roman medicine combines archaeological insights with vivid presentations, creating an event experience that intensely condenses knowledge, atmosphere, and historical images.
