With some delay, here are a lot of pictures from the Stadtsmuseum in Rothenburg, which houses the Baumann collection.

The museum is housed in an old building, which from what I recall used to be a monastery. There are other items on display, but I was there for the arms and armor and there was plenty of it.

The collection starts with a large hall, dedicated to European arms and armor from the late Middle Ages to the 1700s.

Considering that this is really a private collection, all assembled in recent times, the scope is quite impressive.

It is a testament to what is possible through a combination of passion and sufficient financial resources.

I am not aware if anyone has gone through the effort of cataloguing and publishing the collection. If not, hopefully someone eventually does.

There are, as has been noted in the past, some items in the collection that are of dubious origins. A careful study by the right experts should be able to separate the genuine ones from the fakes.
