Pottery Museum
In Schwanfeld the Pottery Museum was opened on October 16, 2010; it represents the life of the local Stone Age farmers 7500 years still constitute on whose traces were initially close pit stains. During excavations more and more shards and graves, house foundations and numerous other relics arrived in very good preservation quality from the earliest period of the Linear Pottery culture to light. Decisive here was the work of the Frankfurt archaeologists and early historians Jewellers Professor Jens Lüning, which began in 1979 and was funded by the DFG. For this topic published numerous dissertations and master's theses. Revealing were the evidence of the previously unknown courtyard model as a principle for the next 500 years of the Linear Pottery culture. The museum documents the overall themes Holzbautechnik, cereal, ceramics, art, clothes, hat and hair fashion.
