Local history explorer

From a young age he was already deeply involved in the history and nature of the Lippe region . At the same time he became a very active member of the natural science association for the state of Lippe .

Among other things, he researched and mapped countless barrows between the Egge Mountains and the Upper Weser . During further research he discovered several Mesolithic settlements in the area of ​​the Senne and the Teutoburg Forest . Outstanding here was his archaeological excavation of a residential area at the Rethlager springs, through which a number of new findings from the Mesolithic period were gained.
