Mader Heide, Archaeological site in Gudensberg, Germany.
The Mader Heide extends across fertile agricultural lands on the Gudensberger Kuppenschwelle, surrounded by basalt hills including Ittersberg and Mader Stein.
In 1277, the proclamation of Henry I as the first Landgrave of Hesse took place at Mader Heide, establishing a new political era in the region.
Archaeological excavations in 1923 revealed two ancient house foundations, pottery fragments, and human remains, indicating long-term settlement patterns in the area.
The agricultural land contains marked paths leading to the historical location, with information signs explaining the significance of this Germanic meeting ground.
Excavations conducted by Landgraf Karl I in 1708 uncovered prehistoric artifacts, including stone axes and skeletal remains from ancient burial practices.
