The Nauheim brooches is a form of garment clasps ( fibulae ) for holding the clothes in the late Latènezeit was used. This form of fibula is named after Bad Nauheim in Hesse , as it was scientifically described for the first time during the exploration of a burial ground.

description

The Nauheim Primer is executed in the so-called late Latène scheme. Such fibulae have an elongated, usually only slightly curved bow and a spiral spring with only a few turns. The foot and needle holder consist of a flat plate that is usually perforated in the shape of a frame. The fibula is single-part, i.e. worked in one piece and not composed of individual parts. In the Nauheim fibula, the bow is flat and elongated in the form of a ribbon. It becomes very narrow towards the foot end, the wider head part is often decorated with incised lines. The closing effect is generated by a spiral spring with four turns.

Nauheim fibulae are a typical part of traditional costumes in the last phase of the Iron Age , especially the Latène D stage, i.e. the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. Its distribution area extends over all of Central Europe.
