New City Museum exhibition
As a first step, the foyer on the second floor was completely redesigned. The newly designed exhibition invites visitors on an interactive journey through time, giving them an overview of the town’s settlement history.
An important element is the wide range of interaction options in the new room. Drawers can be pulled out and their contents viewed, flaps can be opened or a district puzzle can be played. The lighting has also been modernized to improve the overall visual impression. The final feature is a display case, which is filled with a new object every year, be it a new addition to the museum or a loan from the public. Because every everyday object can make history – perhaps the object that has particularly moved us this year will one day be displayed in the museum.
Public tours of the extended permanent exhibition will take place on Friday, March 27 and Friday, April 17, both at 3 pm.
The new room is the centerpiece of the city museum’s permanent exhibition and can be visited from Thursdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from January 22.
Radolfzell 3226
Radolfzell is inviting visitors to a special exhibition at Villa Bosch to mark the town’s anniversary. In collaboration with the University of Constance and the Constance University of Applied Sciences (HTWG), students of history, communication design and architecture are developing an innovative and interactive exhibition that looks back 1,200 years and forward 1,200 years at the same time.
The focus is on the idea of a time capsule. For centuries, people have been preserving messages for posterity, hidden in foundation stones, church spires or attics.
They contain things of such great importance that they are meant to stand the test of time and may only be opened in the distant future. The exhibition takes up this tradition and poses the question:
What should Radolfzell leave behind for the future?
Which memories, experiences and hopes are worth preserving for future generations?
Visitors can expect an exhibition that not only provides impressive insights into the history of Radolfzell, but also invites them to explore the challenges of the present and visions for the future.
People can and should therefore contribute their own thoughts and wishes and play an active role in helping to preserve traces of the present for the year 3226.
In the end, everyone decides for themselves: What should be included in a time capsule?

Museum festival and vernissage of the special exhibition
On International Museum Day 2026, the Radolfzell City Museum will not only be celebrating the opening of the new special exhibition “Ratoldescella – Radolfzell”. The museum is also celebrating its twentieth anniversary within the walls of the historic town pharmacy. With an extensive program of impulse tours, hands-on activities, music and a book flea market, there is something for everyone with free admission. The special exhibition to mark the town’s anniversary traces the eventful life of our town founder through early medieval Europe. Emigrant fates and inn stories are highlighted. Paintings, models and plans show the vanished Radolfzell.
Who was Radolt?
The exhibition “Who was Radolt?” deals with the questions of why and since when the school has borne its name. Together with the pupils, the historical background of Bishop Radolt, his work in Radolfzell and the naming of Ratoldus School are explored. The aim is to create a small exhibition about the life and work of Ratoldus and his significance for Radolfzell today. To this end, the pupils will get to know historical work and learn more about the town’s history. The knowledge gained will be presented in a portable permanent exhibition in the school building and shared with the wider school community with the help of information texts on the school website. In line with the school’s concept, care will be taken to incorporate inclusive elements into the exhibition. Follow-up projects can then be implemented at the school.
