Kaiserköpperl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kaiserköpperl (also Kaisermühlerköpperl) is a three to four thousand year old hilltop settlement north of the village of Bärndorf (Rottenmann municipality) on the Scheiberberg at 820  m above sea level. A. and is considered the first mining settlement in the Paltental , the remains of which are under monument protection .

The mansion, designed as a ring wall system , is assigned to the late Hallstatt / early La Tène period in the border area between East and West Hallstatt district , was located on a Bronze Age mule track that led from the Paltental into the Admonttal and was surrounded by copper mining sites in the Prenterwinkel , on the Hallweg and on the Wagenbänkberg , so it was surrounded by an important one prehistoric cultural and economic area is spoken.

The supraregional connection with western Hungary and Slovenia is shown by the oldest ceramic pieces found there (foot, bowl, mug with deeply engraved incisions) from the end of the 5th / beginning of the 4th millennium BC. Further finds come from the early and middle Bronze Age (ceramic cups, storage vessels with finger dab strips and handle knobs) and from the Jungurnenfeldzeit (objects with the ornaments typical of around 1000 BC). In the late Hallstatt period, a connection can be established both with the western (comparable finds in Baden-Württemberg ) and with the eastern Hallstatt district ( western Hungary , Slovenia ). Replicas of metal vessels made of graphite clay give evidence of settlement up to an early Celtic period (La-Tène) .
