Oppidum Ubiorum
Date Added: 14th Aug 2017
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia)
Visited: Yes on 3rd Aug 2017. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 5
Oppidum Ubiorum submitted by Harald_Platta on 14th Aug 2017. The Oppidum Ubiorum was a settlement by the Germanic tribe of the Ubii (19 BC). It represents the oldest predecessor settlement of today`s Cologne (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).
The only visibel remaining part is the Ubiermonument (“monument of the Ubii“). The tuff stonework of this square stone tower is still preserved up to 6.50 m high. It was most likely the harbour tower or a fortification of the city wall.
The Ubiermonument can be visited in an underground museum hall.

Grotenbach submitted by Harald_Platta on 23rd Aug 2017. The Grotenbach is a well and small stream in Witten (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany).
Its name might connect it to the Germanic god Odin.
The area is hardly accessible in the summer months because of the dense vegetation. The picture shows the Grotenbach a few meters downstream of the well exit, which lies near the houses on the left side of the picture. The streambed is indicated by the relatively free space in the middle of the picture.
The photo was taken in August 2017.

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.
