Archaeological finds

Silver ring from Trichtingen (State Museum Württemberg)

Trichtingen became known in archeology far beyond the national borders in 1928 through the discovery of the Trichtingen silver ring . It was stuck in the wall of a drainage ditch about two feet below the surface and weighed 6.7 kg. Its dating is controversial, it was classified in the late La Tène period (1st century BC). It is believed that it was deposited as part of a sacrificial cult. While the design of the ring point to influences from the Danube region, to Thrace or even Persia, comparative finds point to a production in Gaul. The ring is exhibited today in the Württemberg State Museum.

In 1976 the Deutsche Bundespost issued a 50-pfennig token with the motif of the ring. It was labeled: silver ring. Neck ring from Trichtingen. Badge of a Celtic prince .

In 2020 it will become the symbol of an advertising campaign for the "Keltenland Baden-Württemberg". The Ministry of Science wants to present and network the sites and museums for the historical legacy of the Celts more strongly with an investment worth millions.
