Set in a former barn near the old tanners' quarter, the Rieskrater Museum is the place to understand why Nördlingen looks the way it does. Its exhibits explain the meteor strike that created the Ries crater, the impact rocks found around town, and the Apollo-era astronaut training that took place in the region.
