The former armoury of the original fortification in Germersheim houses a museum that is the only one of its kind in Germany, the German Road Museum.
In contrast to the more frequently visited transport or technology museums, the German Road Museum illustrates the subject of roads from an archaeological, folkloric and constructive point of view in an exhibition space measuring approximately 5,000 m², both inside and outside, spanning everything from the beaten track of early times to the high-tech highway of the 21st century.

With text and picture panels, full-size models and replicas, as well as outstanding exhibits, including an old Germanic boardwalk from around 800 B.C., visitors are given an overview of various historical periods and techniques of road construction. This is all complemented by tunnel and bridge replicas, the historical development of traffic signs, and the equipment and vehicles required for road construction (steam rollers and road pavers).

For groups, guided tours (also available in foreign languages) are offered daily by appointment. Special exhibitions punctuate the museum's day-to-day routine.
