Archaeological-Ecological Center Albersdorf
The Archaeological-Ecological Center Albersdorf (AÖZA), also called Stone Age Park Dithmarschen , is a Stone Age open-air facility near Albersdorf , Dithmarschen district in Schleswig-Holstein . The project is supported by the AÖZA e. V.
On the AÖZA site, nine archaeological monuments, some of which have been restored, such as a passage grave , rectangular dolmen , polygonal dolmen and burial mounds are accessible to the public. Since 1997 the Archaeological-Ecological Center Albersdorf (AÖZA) on the Dithmarscher Geest in the west of Schleswig-Holstein has been working on recreating a Neolithic cultural landscape from around 5,000 years ago on an area of around 40 hectares. By means of a predominantly natural, but landscape- planning-controlled process, the attempt is made to design a landscape that looks like a Neolithic cultural landscape in its structure, proportions and in other respects . The leitmotif for the landscape development is a semi-open pasture landscape , which was formed by house building and livestock farming by the first arable farmers and ranchers. In addition, the area is already grazed with old breeds of domestic animals. In the summer of 1999, a Neolithic settlement was reconstructed as an open-air museum in close proximity to the original prehistoric monuments. In this Stone Age village, educational programs and activities such as flint or leather processing, archery and other Stone Age techniques are demonstrated to the visitors. Together with the Dithmarschen Museum of Archeology and Ecology in Albersdorf, it is planned to set up a permanent information exhibition on the subject of man and the environment in prehistory .
