Life

Marschalleck comes from the province of Brandenburg , where he was born the son of a farmer. He attended the humanistic grammar school of the Brandenburg Knight Academy and, after passing the school leaving examination, studied prehistoric and early historical archeology as well as geography, geology and ancient history at the universities of Heidelberg , Copenhagen , Halle (Saale) and Tübingen. In Tübingen he was in 1928 with a thesis on the chronology of the pre-Roman Iron Age in the Middle Elbe River Basin Dr. phil. PhD. He initially found employment with a work contract at the State Museum for Prehistory and Early History in Berlin. As an excellent expert on Brandenburg's prehistory, he was appointed scientific assistant to the state shop steward for cultural and historical soil antiquities in the province of Brandenburg in 1930. Marschalleck ensured a reorganization of the preservation of monuments in Brandenburg with the creation of district administrations. Since he refused to join the NSDAP , he was passed over in 1938 when the office of shop steward was replaced. He resigned from the Brandenburg land monument preservation and has since worked freelance for the State Museum. During his time in Brandenburg he carried out numerous excavations himself and was involved in the great castle excavations by Wilhelm Unverzagt on the Oder and Warthe. In 1944 he published the prehistoric and early historical survey of the Luckau district .

In 1940, Marschalleck was assigned to work as an interpreter at the letter inspection office in Berlin. From 1945 to 1948 he lived as a farmer and gardener on his agricultural property in the Spreewald, before he received a call from the new provincial government in Potsdam as a lecturer for prehistory and early history and institute director at the newly founded Brandenburg State University in the New Palace. At the same time he was the state shop steward for the rest of the former province of Brandenburg.

In 1952 he moved to the Federal Republic. Marschalleck followed his family, who had moved to Jever in 1945 . There, too, he soon familiarized himself with the special professional conditions. He rearranged the prehistoric and early historical collection of the castle museum and also undertook numerous excavations in East Friesland. Among other things, he researched the Frisian burial ground of Zetel and undertook archaeological studies of the town center of Jever and the burned down town church. Through the evidence of several wooden predecessor churches, he could point to a heyday of Jever as early as the 9th to 11th centuries. Marschalleck also discovered the wooden churches in Arle , Engerhafe , Hage and Victorbur . He received research assignments, among other things, to record the finds and sites of the Harlingerland and the district of Friesland.
