Celebrate children’s birthdays in the museum
The museum in the Kaiserpfalz offers you various programs that are suitable for a creative children’s birthday party. Pick something beautiful for yourself and your birthday child!
Enamel – a special art
In the Middle Ages, goldsmiths decorated precious jewelry with enamel. They sprinkled colored powders on metals, which were then melted at high temperatures. After cooling, the enamel glaze shines and shimmers in a colorful way. On a tour of the museum, we carefully examine medieval brooches adorned with enamel, before we enamel a piece of jewelery ourselves based on the example of these robe clasps.
Age Group: 10 to 12 year olds
duration: about 2 hours
Material costs: 15 euros per group
Due to the special exhibition "Life at the Dead Sea. Archeology from the Holy Land ”, the program cannot be booked from March to November 2020.
In the coin workshop of Charlemagne
Coins are special finds during excavations. They are rare, but they can tell us a lot about the past. At the time of Charlemagne, especially new silver money became more and more important. In the museum in the Kaiserpfalz you can find out a lot about money and trade in the early Middle Ages and even “silver and gold coins" and tinker with an associated wallet. You will need it, because in a subsequent game you will try your luck as a medieval trader.
Age categories: 7 to 10 years
duration: about 2.5 hours
Material costs: € 5 per group

The king is building!
How were houses built in the Middle Ages? What was special about the royal construction site of the Paderborn Imperial Palace? Try it out, how one draws a right angle even without a triangle, why the keystone plays an important role in a vault or why you can do without assembly glue when building a roof structure! At the end you make your "journeyman piece", a plumb balance.
Age Group: 7-10 years
duration: about 2 hours
Material costs: 1 € per person

Play like in the Middle Ages
Do you want to know which games children enjoyed in the Middle Ages? In the museum in the Kaiserpfalz you can try out with your guests how individual play equipment worked. Afterwards you also have the opportunity to model a clay toy yourself based on a medieval model.
Please bring: Half a pack of brown, self-hardening modeling clay (Efaplast) per child and a small box with a lid (about the size of a shoe box) so that everything arrives safely at home.
Ages: 7 to 10 years
duration: about 2 hours
Treasures from melted sand
Charlemagne brought artists to Paderborn 1200 years ago who made window glass and magnificent drinking glasses for his palace. Rich citizens of Paderborn also appreciated the beauty of colored glass 400 years ago. They had beautiful glass gifts made that were even inherited.
Discover these treasures in the museum and learn how glassmakers made them from melted sand and other ingredients. You can paint a drinking glass yourself according to old templates. You can of course take this treasure home with you.
Please bring: a simple drinking glass (approx. 0.2 liters) per child.
Age categories: 9 to 12 years
duration: about 2 hours
Carbuncle stones and colored glass
Beautiful jewelry was found in the graves from the time Franconia found. As a prospective goldsmith, you will first explore the most beautiful pieces of jewelry, so that you can finally create “gem-set” brooches and pearl necklaces, as they were fashionable at the time of Charlemagne. You don’t know what a primer is and what carbuncle stones look like? Then let yourself be surprised.
Please bring: per child a small packet of polymer clay (different colors if possible) and a brooch pin (length: 3 to 5 cm).
Ages: 9 to 12 years
duration: 2 hours
treasure Hunt
A mysterious map and strange letters from a medieval goldsmith lead you to selected treasures of the Middle Ages: golden fittings, brooches and other treasures. Together you solve tricky search tasks and then reward yourself with self-made jewelry.
Age Group: 8 to 10 years
duration: about 2 hours
Please bring it with you: one brooch pin per child (length 3-5 cm)
