Flednitz
Flednitz refers to the Slavic or Naabwendian settlement chamber in northern Bavaria. Its natural center is the Rauhe Kulm , flanked by the Haidenaab river .
In the past decades the Flednitz has been the subject of archaeological investigations several times . In the process, necropolises and grave fields with numerous grave goods from different epochs were discovered around the Rauhen Kulm . In 1921 and 2003/2004, axes, silver headdress rings, finger rings, glass beads, bronze needles, fire steels, flint stones, whetstones, knives and winged arrowheads were found near Mockersdorf . In a necropolis near Wirbenz that was used from the 8th to 10th centuries, a bearded ax was brought to light during excavations from 1995 to 1997 . It turned out that at that time a mixed population of Slavs and Germans settled in the Flednitz. There were also Bavarians , Naabwend and Eastern Franconia.
A necropolis was also discovered in 1972 on Barbaraberg, near Speinshart Abbey . Those buried there belonged to a higher social class. Around the year 1000, a stone church was built on the northern edge. The summit of the Rauhen Kulm is located from this burial place in a northerly direction.
