Historic Time Travel at Veste Coburg: Two Days Full of Life, Camps, and Authenticity

When Veste Coburg transforms into a vibrant stage for past centuries on July 18 and 19, 2026, history meets atmosphere, craftsmanship encounters spectacle, and museum turns into a genuine event experience. The art collections of Veste Coburg invite you to the world around 1500 and to the time of the Thirty Years' War during TIME TRAVEL 2026.

Between Castle Life and Fortress History

Historical groups set up quarters in the castle courtyards, artisans demonstrate ancient techniques, knights and mercenaries fill the grounds with a festive atmosphere. Clothing, leather goods, chainmail, armor, and weapons are crafted on-site based on historical models – detailed and close to historical representation.

Action, Sound, and Grand Picture Theater

Time Travel includes musket drills, cannon demonstrations, and military fireworks. The artillery demonstrations take place on both days between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM as well as between 4:00 PM and 5:45 PM; earplugs are available at the museum ticket counter. Families visiting with children will find a family experience with plenty of movement in the castle courtyards, but should cautiously avoid the direct viewing areas at the High Bastion and Bear Bastion during the demonstrations.
