The Widukind Museum is a history museum in Enger (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). It focuses on Widukind, who was the leader of the Saxons and the opponent of the Frankish king Charlemagne (Karl der Große) during the Saxon Wars (777 to 785 AD).
The name Widukind (also known as Widuking or Wittekind) may mean “Child of the Woods“. He fought for the Saxon independence and against the forced conversion of the pagan Saxons by the Christian Franks.
He is believed to be buried in the nearby Stiftskirche Enger, where his tomb can be seen.
