Ancient settlement discovered: Archaeologist Graben in the Borsdorf business park!

The exciting world of archeology opens its goals! Between Borsdorf and Harb, where a modern business park will soon be built, excavators have discovered fascinating relics of the early Neolithic period. The work has already started and the archaeologists dig with shovels and scraps in the bottom of the future Igo Green Parks, while a large excavator discharges the first layers of earth. The scientists have been in use since September to search the 19 hectare site at the expense of more than 20 million euros.

You came across an unexpected archaeological sensation! In an already known place that has suspected suspicion since the 19th century, traces of settlements were found. "We have discovered traces of settlement," explains an excavator and refers to numerous post holes and trenches that indicate the earliest sedentary people. According to the press spokesman for the state monument, Lars Görze, these finds are "significantly older" than previous discoveries in Berstadt and could be over 6500 years old! This record-time span also raises the question of what we know about the first Wetterau residents and what secrets the earth preserves there.

Waiting for further revelations

The excavation work will continue until the winter. There could still be many surprises because the archaeological team plans to penetrate deeper into the ground to discover even more remains of the ancient settlement. Meanwhile, the planners of the business park take over a relaxed attitude, although the construction work is pushed out indefinitely. Mayor Thorsten Eberhard (CDU) reports that the implementation of the project requires numerous steps, including the rededication of the field into commercial land and the preparation of the infrastructure.

Originally, construction for spring 2025 was intended, but due to the complexity of the project, it could delay itself to autumn. Politics remains optimistic because a company from Nidda has expressed interest, but nothing is still in dry cloths. In the meantime, there are questions about the consequences of the current economic situation and the future interest of companies in the business park in the room.
