The Römerkastell Saalburg, a reconstructed Roman fort and archaeological park in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, opens outside its public hours for private parties, company celebrations and club events. The museum restaurant, the Taberna, seats 20 to 50 guests in a setting modeled on Pompeii. Museum staff add a cultural program of a guided tour, an active program or both.
Seminars and company events
The Saalburg offers group programs for companies, clubs and private groups during opening hours: a guided tour of up to 45 minutes for up to 30 people, a tour followed by an active program, or a tour with a demonstration of Roman dress and soldiers' equipment. The tour can focus on the inside of the fort, the area outside it or the Limes frontier, in German or English. The active programs are archery and javelin throwing, or weapons training with sword and shield, in the manner of the Roman army. For a company evening, the same program can frame a celebration after closing. The site describes no meeting rooms or conference equipment, so it suits an outing or a team event more than a seminar.
Weddings and receptions
Private parties are listed alongside company and club celebrations, and weddings are not named. The evening offer is built on the idea of a Roman banquet in the style of Lucullus, with food, an unusual setting and a program.
Rooms and capacities
The Taberna is the named space, furnished after models from Pompeii, for groups of 20 to 50 people. It can be booked for celebrations outside the museum's opening hours. The fort itself can be used exclusively in the evening, after closing, as a venue. The site gives no capacity for the grounds. A page on accessibility describes the barrier-free route through the site.
Catering
The Taberna team prepares individual arrangements drawing on Roman and contemporary cooking. Two offers are published as downloads: a classic Roman menu and a Christmas special for 2026.
Accommodation
There is no accommodation on site.
