Project description

In an interactive workshop, visitors will have the opportunity to get to know the historical building technique of the wickerwork wall. Together we will build small models of a Neolithic wall construction. Afterwards, everyone will be allowed to take these models home. The relevance of these wall constructions results on the one hand from their significance for sustainable building and on the other hand from their local connection to the Thuringian basin.

Thuringia is one of the oldest cultural landscapes in Central Europe. The excellent soils as well as the mild climate favoured early settlement. The Neolithic longhouse is one of the oldest types of dwelling. The workshop will focus on the Neolithic period and draw attention to the historical regional context of Weimar.

We are in close contact with the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, Weimar.
