Gräberfeld von Weingarten, Early medieval burial ground in Weingarten, Germany
The burial field contains 801 graves arranged in rows across an area measuring 120 meters from west to east and 90 meters from north to south.
Between 450 and 720 CE, the site served as a continuous burial ground, reflecting population growth from 50 people in the fifth century to 150 in the seventh century.
The graves contain clothing accessories, weapons, jewelry, and ceramic vessels, illustrating the transformation from Germanic burial traditions to Christian practices over time.
The Alamannen Museum Weingarten, located 1 kilometer east of the burial site, displays numerous artifacts discovered during the 1952-1957 excavations.
Archaeological analysis of the skeletal remains reveals extensive information about diet, diseases, family relationships, and migration patterns of the Merovingian population.
