Dr. Christoph Reichmann

Christoph Reichmann is an archaeologist and former director of the Museum Burg Linn in Krefeld. He studied Prehistoric Archaeology at the University of Münster and Ruhr University Bochum, completing his doctorate on the settlement history of the Lippe estuary region during the Late Iron Age and the Roman Imperial period.

After positions with the Regional Associations of Westphalia and the Rhineland, he assumed first the acting, then the permanent directorship of the Museum Burg Linn.

For more than fifty years, Dr. Reichmann has been engaged with the archaeology of the Lower Rhine and Westphalia, focusing especially on the Iron Age and the Roman fort of Gelduba. He has also conducted research on medieval castle architecture, the urban development of Krefeld in the Middle Ages, and the study of historic buildings in northwestern Europe—an area of research he helped to establish and expand in Krefeld.
