Kugenhusen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kugenhusen is a medieval desert near Einbeck .

Ceramic products were made in the settlement east of the city . The town of Einbeck was mainly supplied with the products from Kugenhusen.

During an excavation in the early 1990s, 11 kilns and 3 tons of cullet were uncovered. Using remains of wood found there, a dendrochronological dating could be carried out and the activities of the pottery could be limited to the period between 1140 and 1230. Investigations of pollen revealed that the surrounding area was deforested and used for agriculture.

Another excavation at the end of the 2010s also found a pit for the raw material clay, which was filled with further fragments. In addition, a farmstead house from the Iron Age has been found near this high medieval settlement .
