paläon Schöningen

Welcome to paläon Schöningen

The Schöningen Research Museum uniquely combines the exciting experience of the Palaeolithic Age with cutting-edge archaeological research in an innovative exhibition concept. Visitors travel back around 300,000 years to the Palaeolithic Age and meet the first inhabitants of Lower Saxony. In various stagings, they experience how a hunting expedition might have taken place back then.
You can marvel at the Schöningen spears in the immediate vicinity of the discovery site. There, where they were left around 300,000 years ago and found in 1994 - and where excavations are still taking place today.
The extensive outdoor area on the edge of the former open-cast lignite mine invites you to go for a walk and discover nature.
Visitors have the opportunity to fortify themselves and relax with coffee and cake or hearty dishes in the museum's bistro.
