Career

After his military service from 1976 to 1982, Wulf studied Prehistory and Early History , Ethnology and Classical Archeology at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . There he obtained his Magister Artium in 1982 on the subject of "The medieval desert Gardelshausen near Hedemünden", which he discovered in 1977 on the basis of surface finds.

From 1983 Wulf worked in the Lower Saxony State Administration Office - Institute for Monument Preservation as the forerunner of the Lower Saxony State Office for Monument Preservation (NLD). Initially, the recording and inventory of archaeological monument preservation for the administrative district Weser-Ems was one of his tasks. Since 1998 he has been a member of the NLD's Archeology Department , where he became Head of Division for the area of ​​the former administrative district of Hanover in 2013 .

From 2010 he was responsible for the extensive prospecting and excavation project for the NEL pipeline , which among other things led to the discovery of Gessel's gold hoard . In addition, he was responsible for the processing of spectacular finds, like the Ulfberht - Sword of Großenwieden and the 5500 years old copper ax of stone mountains , in charge. Other work topics were the Iron Age settlement near Bantorf , the Möllenbeck burial mound and city ​​archaeological investigations in Hanover at the Nikolaikapelle , at the Hofmarstable on the Hohe Ufer , on the Leine island Little Venice and Am Hohen Ufer . In 2016, Friedrich-Wilhelm Wulf headed the investigation of bone material that was found during renovation work in the former Leineschloss in Hanover. The find attracted widespread media coverage, as the bones were initially attributed to court cavalier Philipp Christoph von Königsmarck , who was probably killed there in the 17th century , which the investigations did not confirm. Since 2015, researching the Roman marcher from Wilkenburg has been part of Wulf's tasks.
