The Hitzacker Archaeological Centre is an archaeological open-air museum in Hitzacker, Lower Saxony. The focus of the museum is the depiction of Bronze Age settlements. The museum covers an area of ​​15,000 m² (1.5 hectares) with 40 archaeological locations, three reconstructed longhouses, a burial hut and a pit house, as shown by local archaeological finds.

The dwelling houses are supplemented by various everyday domestic and craft facilities. One of the longhouses has an exhibition on the important areas of life in the Bronze Age 3000 years ago. Based on the ruins of another longhouse that burned down and remained standing in 2008, research is to be carried out into what traces can be found in archaeological excavations after nature has slowly destroyed the findings. The museum offers visitors a wide range of historical activities such as the manufacture of flint tools, bronze casting, bread baking, making fire in ancient times, spinning or weaving, a pottery kiln, the manufacture and use of pitch and the storage and preservation of food through storage pits and smoking and modern campaigns to join in and try out.

In 1969, during construction work on the lake of Hitzacker, the first archaeological finds of pottery shards and house floor plans were made. In the 1970s and 1980s, various excavation campaigns and planned archaeological excavations were carried out in the area, since the further expansion of the lake and a federal road endangered the archaeological monuments. The excavations yielded further finds and house plans. It was found that the area has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age, around 2200 BC to the 7th century BC and again in the Slavic period (from the 8th century AD) was densely populated. In 1990, due to the importance of the finds, the Hitzacker Archaeological Centre was founded as an open-air museum and the 16-hectare surrounding area was designated as an excavation protection area. The museum was looked and supported by the Kreisarchäologie Lüchow-Dannenberg (Lüchow-Dannenberg District Archeology Department) and the Förderverein Archäologisches Zentrum Hitzacker e.V. (Archaeological Centre Hitzacker e.V.). It has been sponsored by the city of Hitzacker (Elbe) since 2006.

Little extra information: The open-air museum is a location recognized by the Elbtalaue municipality for civil weddings, which are accompanied by a supporting program from the museum!
