Walle Plough, Bronze Age plough in Walle, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The Walle Plough features a 3-meter-long oak branch ploughbeam with a 60-centimeter ploughshare, discovered at the bottom of a peat layer.
Peat cutters Jann Hanßen and his son Heye discovered this agricultural tool on July 9, 1927, receiving 50 Reichsmark as a compensation for their finding.
This artifact demonstrates the agricultural methods and technological capabilities of early Germanic societies during the transition between the Bronze and Iron Ages.
The plough remains on display at the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover, with a replica exhibited at the Historical Museum in Aurich.
Scientists determined through pollen analysis that this oak plough might have been intentionally preserved by submerging it in bog water during winter periods.
