Venus of Andernach, Stone age sculptures at Martinsberg, Germany

The Venus of Andernach consists of 24 female stone figurines measuring between 4.4 and 20 centimeters in height, discovered at the Martinsberg site.

These sculptures were created around 13,400 BCE during the Magdalenian period, representing a significant collection of prehistoric female art in Central Europe.

The figurines display a specific stylization pattern, with emphasized lower bodies but without heads or feet, reflecting early human artistic expressions.

The collection is preserved at the State Office for Heritage Preservation Rhineland-Palatinate, Archaeological Monument Conservation, Koblenz branch for research purposes.

These figurines, together with findings from nearby Gönnersdorf, contain more female representations than all other European Magdalenian sites combined.
