Find description
In Großromstedt in Thuringia there is a large Elbe-Germanic cremation burial ground from the late pre-Roman Iron Age (2nd half of the 1st century BC) and the early Roman Empire . It was excavated between 1907 and 1913 and gave its name to the Großromstedter Horizont , an Elbe Germanic cultural group that spread to Bohemia and Main Franconia in the decades before the birth of Christ . In older research, the Großromstedt culture was traditionally associated with the Hermunduren .
In Thuringia, for example, archaeological finds from Elbe Germanic origin, such as fibulae , iron weapons, terrines, bowl urns and ceramic parts adorned with wheels, have so far mostly been interpreted as Hermundurian. It was assumed that these gradually migrated south and southwest from the Elbe and pushed the Celts who settled there over the Thuringian Forest , provided they did not mix with them.
