Armbergs of Neuendorf Abbey bordered at the top and bottom by ladder tape patterns

Ladder tape patterns are an ornament technique known primarily from Bronze Age and Iron Age artifacts to the early Middle Ages . Here are ladder-like lines, both straight and limited, however, also with inclined ladder rungs, in particular cuffs and collars, other bronzes and decorated. In some rock carvings ( rock carvings from Valcamonica , Val Meravigglie, Santiago de Compostela) there are also ladder bands. A probably Neolithic ladder tape stone belongs to the collective grave Odagsen III in Lower Saxony . The stone decorated in this way is set up in the foyer of the Einbeck Municipal Museum . In archeology, the type of decoration serves to delimit different levels of culture and their geographical distribution.

Some of the arm and leg mountains found in women's graves in Germany and north-west Poland also have an inclined ladder tape pattern, and inclined ladder tape patterns are a common ornament in Mecklenburg. A pendant was found in Offenbach-Rumpenheim, which is attached to a small neck ring with an inclined ladder tape pattern by means of three rings. A sheet metal belt with an embossed ladder tape pattern comes from the Hallstatt period in Bavaria. The characteristic motifs of the decoration of ceramic finds in Büdelsdorf are ladder tape patterns in chisel stitch, furrow stitch and winding cord technique.
