Feddersen Wierde, Iron Age settlement ruins near Bremerhaven, Germany
The excavated site reveals the foundation of 26 wooden longhouses arranged in a circular pattern on an elevated mound structure.
From the 1st to 5th centuries AD, settlers constructed elevated mounds using layers of dung and mud to protect against coastal flooding.
Archaeological findings indicate a community of 300 residents who maintained extensive cattle herds and practiced grain cultivation in marshland conditions.
The archaeological site opens for visits, with information panels explaining the settlement layout and discoveries from 1955-1963 excavations.
Preserved organic materials, including wooden foundations and bone tools, remain intact due to specific soil moisture conditions at the location.
