Iron Age House Darpvenne
Iron Age House Darpvenne is the name of a stable house from the Iron Age , which was reconstructed in the Lower Saxony community of Ostercappeln in 2008 based on archaeological findings from the pre-Roman Iron Age. The house, together with its outbuildings and usable areas, the oven, a smoking oven and places for iron processing, form a typical prehistoric homestead of the region in the south of the North German lowlands on the northern slope of the Wiehen Mountains . On the total area of 3000 m² of the homestead, the life of the people is about 300 BC. Vividly conveyed. The project is related to the Schnippenburg excavation project .
The two-aisled residential stable house is covered with thatched grass and consists of oak posts with wattle walls plastered with clay . The ridge height is approx. 5.50 m. With a length of 16 m and a width of 8 m, it is divided into a living part with a hearth and a stable part with cattle boxes. In the pre-Roman Iron Age, the house type was formative for the historical cultural landscape on the northern slope of the Wiehengebirge. At that time there were no village-like structures there. There were isolated scattered settlements whose locations changed frequently.
In the garden of the Iron Age House, which is around 100 m² in size and enclosed with wicker fences, plants grow as they were demonstrably used by the Iron Age residents around 2300 years ago. In the beds there is a surprisingly diverse, frequently changing selection of herbs, wild vegetables, berries, flowers and perennial plants, which were of great use to people for preparing food, but also for healing and alleviating diseases.
On the site of the Iron Age House, arable land is also shown on which grains typical of the pre-Roman Iron Age such as millet or oil plants such as flax , which was also important for the production of textiles, are grown.
The site of the Iron Age House is continuously growing into a typical settlement environment and thus becomes a place where the living conditions of people from prehistory can be realistically experienced.
The Schnippenburg Friends' Association plans and organizes educational museum programs and looks after them at the Iron Age House in Venne. The mediation work takes place within the framework of open offers for families, one- and several-hour programs and project days for schools, guided tours and courses. As part of the all-day care of the students at the Ludwig Windthorst School in Ostercappeln, a racing kiln project and a ceramic project are being tackled.
The Iron Age house Venne offers convenient access to the road of the megalithic culture to which it because of the nearby megalithic tombs is attached. It is one of the “ magical places ” in the city and in the district of Osnabrück, which are marked by a three-sided white pyramid.
