Surprising finds: medieval graves discovered in Kaindorf

in Kaindorf near Wildon, where a historical burial site was discovered in 2004 during the preparations for the construction of an industrial park, archaeologists have again made significant finds. In the course of excavations that were carried out with regard to the planned start of a bike loader production facility by the Liebherr company in 2026, the scientists surprisingly encountered medieval graves.

This discovery throws new light on the region and its history. The graves that date from the Middle Ages could provide important information about the way of life at that time and the funeral rites. Historians and archaeologists agree that such finds are an enriching addition to the archaeological knowledge of the region.

The meaning of the finds

The discovery of graves in an area that has already been classified as historically significant is not only of interest to archaeologists. These new finds could lead to the plans for the construction of the production facility to be adapted to ensure the preservation and research of the cultural heritage. The area could therefore become a protected area for archaeological resources before construction work can begin in the future.

During previous excavations, remains from the Urn field to Hallstatt-time were found, which proves that the region had been populated over many centuries. The archaeologists believe that these recent finds from the Middle Ages can also contribute to researching the historical development of the area.

The information that is obtained from the finds could not only have an impact on future construction plans, but also on the understanding of early medieval societies that have lived in this area. It remains to be seen to what extent these findings will be incorporated into the future planning, As reported in an article by www.kleinezeitung.at .
