Hillfort in Hesse

500 Meter long Celtic Hillforth dating to About 500 BCE. The inhabitants also set up the 2 tumuli and ditches in the valey below, where chieftain graves and statues were found. The hillfort was again reused in the middle ages, from which stone foundations remain.

Re: Glauberg Siedlung by Anonymous on Saturday, 13 May 2006
Hi!
My name is Claudia Caton from Canberra, Australia. My grandfather was Heinrich Richter who was the first Archaeologist to do a comprehensive dig/ survey of the top of the Glauburg plateau, but he knew there was something more so it's a shame he wasn't alive to see it. What's more, the Americans bombed 'his' museum where the Naturfreund's house is now, about 5 days after the end of the war as 14 German soldiers were hiding in the cellar. Just thought you might be interested if you didn't already know.
I'll be visiting in September so it will be interesting to see the changes since i was last there in 1996. My email is [email protected]. Greetings, Claudia
