7000 year old history: topping -out ceramic nave in Nidderau

In Nidderau, an important topping -out ceremony for the replica of a band ceramic nave in the Hexenturmgarten was recently celebrated. This archaeological project includes committed citizens and archaeologists who have undergone an exciting journey in the past despite difficult conditions and restricted resources. Archaeologist Heike Lasch and her team inspired by a floor plan discovered in the new center in 2011 in the new center to build the historical building that is more than 7000 years old.

The presence of honorary mayor Gerhard Schultheiß and district archaeologist Claus Bergmann at this ceremony was particularly gratifying. Lasch reflected how the idea arose to implement this project in Nidderau. She found that the increased interest and the support of the Nidderau citizens contributed significantly to the implementation: "In May 2012 there was the offer to all Nidderau clubs to use the leased witch tower.

around 2200 volunteer hours invested

The project has taken up a lot of time since its performance in the town hall in September 2012. After careful planning, the construction could finally begin after the building application was approved and a generous donation from Ferdinand Hack had been received. "Volunteers have invested over 2200 hours in this project, and a lot of donated material was installed," said Lasch. Her thanks were particularly aimed at the core team, which has been actively involved in implementation since the beginning.

This initiative is not only an archaeological experiment, but also a platform for education and education about the lifestyle of the linear band ceramists who lived in this region. The new building will not only serve as an exhibit, but also as a place for workshops and lectures on our ancient history.

a look into the past

Pastor Otto Löber emphasized during the topping -out ceremony how important it is important to look at this millennia -old story: "7000 years of reflect 350 generations. We are only known a small part of it - most people lived long before our time." This recognition of our roots can help to better understand our place in today's society. In the festivity, the nave was "baptized" in the old tradition - a symbolic gesture that underlines the historical context of the project.

Mayor Andreas Bär praised Heike Lasch and the association for pre- and early history in the lower Niddertal, which has received many honors in recent years. He emphasized how proud the city was to have such a team that deals with the preservation and preparation of history.

The topping -out ceremony was also part of a day of action that should promote interest in the history and living conditions of the early farmers of the Neolithic. Visitors were able to take part in various hands -on activities. These included the pottery and the rope production made of straw, which clearly demonstrated how people lived and worked at the time.
