The lovingly and authentically designed products from the Römer-Shop have been accompanying me for years and even decades in the field of ancient representation. As a centurion in a Roman military unit until a few years ago, the stationery, from wax tablets to papyrus scrolls, was extremely helpful for high-quality appearances and presentations at museum festivals, in reenactment and in museum education work.

The everyday equipment with glasses and ceramics is also really well made and has survived the hard life of a soldier well. In general, the range of products is truly sensational and offers unique products from the Roman era for many age groups and requirements, from hardcore legionnaires to little Roman fans of primary school age.

Hello and thank you very much for the great products!

Our students were thrilled with the papyrus coloring pictures and the scarabs. As promised, I am sending you photos of the work with the coloring pictures. I wrote a review for the "scarab" coloring picture, but it can also be added to all the other pictures, since we had different motifs.

SALVE , Manuela und Andreas mit Team,
ich möchte meine Bewertung in Reimform darbringen:
Die Trinkgefäße und der Wein, sollten ein Geschenk für meine Eltern sein. Was soll ich sagen-Ihr lieben Leut, es hat beide sehr erfreut!
Sonnige Grüße Torsten

The card is easy to work with and the cardboard is sturdy enough for such projects. Perhaps small cast figures and horses on a plastic base would be a useful addition to the shop, rather than the cardboard pictures. My 12-year-old son had fun making something like that

"From the Nile to the Classroom" – How Papyrus Wrote World History

Papyrus production in Egypt – cutting papyrus stalks | Der Römer Shop

Making Papyrus – Understanding History Through Hands-On Experience

Anyone making papyrus today is repeating a milestone of civilization. In the workshops of ancient Egypt, papyrus was not just a writing material – it was the medium used to record administration, science, and religion. The manufacturing process was complex, strictly regulated – and remains fascinating to this day.

With the right kits, teachers and museum educators can authentically recreate this process in class or workshops. Participants experience the significance of writing culture through hands-on activity. Pressing, cutting, and writing on a papyrus sheet is not just theory – it’s living history education.

Didactic, Creative, Practical – Perfect for Teaching

Whether as a class project, after-school group, or museum activity: Papyrus products combine craftsmanship with historical learning.

From papyrus plant to strips to press – everything you need for a successful project day is available here. Hands-on crafting promotes concentration, teamwork, and historical understanding. Not only the result becomes tangible – but also the knowledge gained.

Papyrus Goes to School


This is how knowledge sticks.
Making papyrus by hand brings history out of the textbook and into the learners' hands. A project that combines materials, skills, and aha moments.

  • Everything included: Papyrus strips, glue, and illustrated instructions
  • Perfect for station-based learning: In clubs and museum education programs
  • Durable quality: Suitable for classroom use and workshops
  • Clear & motivating: For learners of all school types

A project that lets knowledge take root – quite literally.

Experience Antiquity with Creative Projects


A table, a set – and suddenly students travel back 3000 years. Making papyrus by hand is no ordinary school project. It's a window into the past that opens wider with each layer of glue. The workbench becomes an ancient workshop, the lesson an experience.

How about an ancient writing contest? Each class creates their own papyrus and writes a fictional message to the Pharaoh. Or organize a small exhibition in the school hallway: with papyrus scrolls, plant models, and info boards created by the students themselves. History takes the stage – and the learners earn applause.


Interactive Project Work for Groups or Station Learning

Can be combined with topics such as "Egyptian Writing Culture," "Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt," or "How Knowledge Emerged." Ideal for grades 5 and up. Works without a workshop – soaking and pressing are easy to prepare.


This turns learning into a historical adventure – and crafting into an educational experience.
