On the Borders of the Celtic World - Iron Age Fortifications

There is movement in the German low mountain range areas in the 3rd century BC. Between the Thuringian Forest in the east and the river Rhine in the west the northern neighbours of the Celts are building numerous fortifications. The reasons for this are still unclear.

One of the most northern sites, the Schnippenburg near Osnabrück was examined intensely during the last years. Excavation reports have caused sensation in the scientific community and lead to many speculations. The location of the site was disadvantageous and the end was very flamy. This feature presents (in cooperation with the makers of the exhibition »Rätsel Schnippenburg - Sagenhafte Funde aus der Keltenzeit«) the latest facts and questions that keep archaeologists busy.

(The articles by Jochen Brandt, Jens Schulze-Forster und Sebastian Möllers you can read here are published as an extended version in the catalogue "Rätsel Schnippenburg".)

Unsettled Times - The 3rd Century BC

What is the relation of the Schnippenburg, a small hill fort at the farest north western edge of the German low mountain range area, to the greek colony Olbia - in a distance of thousands of kilometers - besieged by celtic tribes? In this article Jochen Brandt shows that the events at the coast of the Black Sea mirror unsettled times in Central Europe.

Low Mountain Range Castles. Iron Age refuges, fortified settlements, central places or ritual places?

Long before medieval stone castles were built a dense net of fortresses embossed the low range mountain areas. Jens Schulze-Forster presents current research on ring walls and outlines the special situation of this kind of fortification in the 3rd century BC.
