Sensation in Riedlingen: 2,000 -year -old Celtic burial chamber discovered!

In Baden-Württemberg, archaeologists have made a remarkable find that excited the scientific community.

Already in April 2024 archaeologists found a "Roman giant" in Stuttgart, but the current discovery is of particular importance, since it is a Celtic burial chamber that is dated 585 BC.

peculiarities of the burial chamber

In Central Europe, a comparable chamber was only discovered once before - namely in 1890 in Villingen in the Black Forest. According to state archaeologist Dirk Krausse, this find in Riedlingen is special, since graves are usually not uncommon in this region, but the discovery from 585 is a real stroke of luck.

The archaeological site is located near the well -known Celtic towns of Heuneburg and buses, where significant excavations have already been carried out. In particular, the grave of a Celtic Princess, which was discovered in 2010 and dated 583, has sparked great interest in the past. The new find could now point out that the Celtic upper class not only buried its dead in the immediate vicinity of Heuneburg, but also in a larger area.

preserving measures of the finds

After their exposure, the ceiling beams were immediately dipped into special chemical baths. This process is crucial to preserve the wood from decay. In addition, there is further treatment in the restoration workshop of the state monument office near Fellbach.

The oak woods are now dried freezing to increase their durability. This elaborate process will take three years, but the preservation of such ancient finds is invaluable for science and the history of the region.
