Goldhort Gessel, Bronze Age archaeological site in Syke, Germany
The Gesseler Goldhort contains 117 gold artifacts weighing 1.7 kilograms, discovered during construction work for a natural gas pipeline in 2011.
The collection dates back to the 14th century BC and remained undisturbed in the ground for approximately 3,300 years until its discovery.
The artifacts include spiral rings, fibulae, and decorative items that demonstrate the metalworking capabilities of Bronze Age craftspeople in Central Europe.
The Forum Gesseler Goldhort museum in Syke presents the artifacts alongside educational programs and regular guided tours on the first Sunday of each month.
This discovery represents the only scientifically excavated Bronze Age gold hoard in the region, with complete documentation of its archaeological context.
