Glauberg Fürstengrabhügel
Date Added: 4th Aug 2015
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Germany (Hesse)
Visited: Yes on 6th Apr 2015
Glauberg Fürstengrabhügel submitted by Harald_Platta on 6th Apr 2015. The post-holes of 16 timber posts had been found in close vicinity of the tumulus. Some are even within the henge-like trench that surrounds the tumulus.
In 2007, they were reconstructed. However, the functional role of the timber posts is still unknown. They may have been used as a calendarium but might as well have been used as part of architectural elements like arches, bridges or temple structures.

Fuhlrott-Museum
Date Added: 5th Feb 2019
Site Type: Museum
Country: Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia)
Visited: Yes on 10th Aug 2018. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 3 Access 5
Fuhlrott-Museum submitted by Harald_Platta on 13th Aug 2018. The Fuhlrott-Museum was a natural history museum in Wuppertal (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). The museum was opened in 1892 by Johann Carl Fuhlrott, who first described the bones of the Neanderthal. The museum was closed to the public in 2008 because the city of Wuppertal had not enough money to support the museum anymore. Since then, it has been speculated if it could be re-opened again someday. However, this option seems to get more unlikely with each year passed.

Log Text: I had visited the still opened museum when I was a child and a teenager. The presentation of the finds always seemed to be a bit old fashioned, but as an interested person, I visited it several times.
