Museums

Vonderau Museum

The teacher and local historian Joseph Vonderau brought much light into the early history of the Fulda territory through his excavations and research in the last century. Thus, the Voderau Museum provides its visitors much worth knowing about Fulda and its surroundings in the three areas of cultural history, natural history and painting/sculptures.

Planetarium

A contemporary equipped planetarium is located within the Vonderau Museum.
