The SiegfriedMuseum Xanten deals with the mythological Germanic hero Siegfried (Sigurd), who was supposed to stem from Xanten.
The museum presentation points out the historic persons that possibly inspired the Siegfried figure and also discusses the different presentations from early carvings on rune stones from Sweden and stone crosses from the British Isles, over the Nibelungenlied and the Poetic Edda to the sometimes problematic perception in the 19th/20th century.
The museum is located in the historic location of the medieval fortifications and is part of a historic walk through the old town of Xanten.
