Silvia Codreanu was born in Kronstadt, where she also graduated from high school. After studying history and English in Sibiu (German: Hermannstadt ) for a few semesters , she studied archeology (prehistory and early history) in Munich . In 1981 she continued studying the Middle Ages in Bamberg . She received her doctorate in 1987 with the work The Romanesque Jewelery Floor in the Benediktbeuren Abbey Church .

Neupfarrplatz Regensburg

Since 1987 she was and is involved in excavations in Regensburg. The largest excavation with the most sensational result was the excavation on Neupfarrplatz , during which the former medieval synagogue was uncovered. That was an essential contribution to the history of Judaism in Regensburg . This will continue to be made visible to the public in the “document Neupfarrplatz”.

Pliening burial ground

At the beginning of her scientific career, Silvia Codreanu-Windauer dealt with the cemetery of Pliening in the Ebersberg district of Upper Bavaria.

Cemetery of Pfreimd

This burial ground is also in their catchment area. Archaeologists and volunteers recovered around 700 finds in Pfreimd . The graves discovered come from two epochs. On the eastern part there were not only body graves from the early Middle Ages but also urn graves from the sixth to eighth centuries BC. The experts assigned the row grave field to a Slavic settlement. For four or five generations their dead were laid to rest in what is now Pfreimd.
