Leo Nebelsiek
Wilhelm Leo Nebelsiek (born July 30, 1886 in Talle , † October 4, 1974 in Detmold ) was a German prehistoric and local researcher.
Life
He came from a long-established Lippe forest ranger family and initially became a teacher before turning to his prehistoric research. With the district school councilor Heinrich Schwanold , who in addition to local research also dealt with the Lippe prehistory, he learned the scientific research of prehistory during his excavations, which he carried out in 1926 at Osterberg near Lügde . Nebelsiek soon carried out prehistoric investigations on his own. He was the first in the Lippe region to use modern excavation methods to investigate prehistoric burial mounds , urn cemeteries, settlements and ramparts.
Nebelsiek headed the prehistory and early history department of the Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold from 1935 to 1967 , where he was most recently the museum's chief inspector. The basis of the collections there and their systematic recording is Nebelsiek's work. In addition, he tried for the first time in this department of the museum to show the visitor the everyday life in a Mesolithic settlement vividly with museum educational means such as model building. Friedrich Hohenschwert took over his successor in the management of the prehistory and early history department .
From 1947 he was a full member of the Antiquities Commission for Westphalian Regional Studies and Folklore and from 1954 a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute .
plant
Nebelsiek has carried out numerous excavations on soil monuments in Lippe. Based on his own measurements, he created a collection of relief models of the Lippe people's castles and early medieval castle walls for the State Museum and expanded the museum's extensive archives of finds and objects as well as the prehistoric picture archive. Furthermore, he has mapped several hundred burial mounds from the late Neolithic and older Bronze Age, for example in Hellerhausen . With his work he laid the basis for the land monument register in Lippe. In the opinion of the scientific community, his special merits in researching the prehistory of the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region were also important contributions to the entire German research on prehistory.
