Ancient Village or Settlement in Lower Saxony, Bremen
Reconstruction of Bronze age long house dating to about 900 BCE using tradional methods, such as Wattle and daub and thatched roof.
The original settlement was discovered 2 Meters underground 150 Meters to the nort accross the drainage canal. In the bronze age, sea levels were significanty lower and the original inhabitants are believed to have left the houses in a hurry during a flood as the settlement was never revived. About 3 houses were found, and after excavation, the site was covered up again to protect it. It is now pasture land again.
The inhabitants lived on one end of the house, and the cows at the other lower end of the house. It was slanted by a few degrees to keep the excrement away from the human inhabitants.
The reconstructed house is now only 1.5 meters above sea level and the entire regiion is protected by dykes. The reconstruction was funded with EU money, the 4 local communities and donations from businesses, such as the the local Thatcher.
An ancient bread oven has also been reconstructed.
The house is open as a museum mostly 11:00 to 17:00 on Sundays and for groups upon request during the rest of the week.
