Slavic village Passentin
The Slavic village Passentin is an archaeological open-air museum in the Penzlin district of Passentin in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Germany. It consists of buildings from the 9th and 10th centuries reconstructed according to archaeological findings in their original size and was completed in 2000 as an early medieval teaching and experience location in the sense of living history based on the idea of the sculptor Dorothee Rätsch .
background
At the time of Tacitus , during the Roman Empire , Germanic tribes settled in what is now Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , and they moved away with the migrations . Later, around the 7th century, Slavic tribal groups ( also called Wenden in Mecklenburg ) immigrated . Rethras , the religious center of the northern Western Slavs, has been believed to have been in the area around Lake Tollensesee for several centuries . The exact location cannot be reconstructed, however, because with the construction of the four-wheel mill Neubrandenburg in the 13th century, the natural drainage of the lake was closed and the contour and expansion of the lake changed significantly due to the increase in the water level, and so the territorial relationship to the descriptions early medieval chroniclers could not be exactly established. Archaeological finds have shown that there was a Slavic castle in the vicinity of Passentin until the 14th century. In a chain of fortified castle complexes, the Passentiner Niederungsburg was of strategic importance in the border area between Redariern and Tollensern . Therefore the place for the Slavic village was chosen here.
history
The idea and the concept for this place of learning and experience come from Dorothee Rätsch, who also provided technical support for the construction. School classes and families should be able to live history here - like staying overnight in the Middle Ages, preparing their own food and weaving, spinning, pottery, carving. Forge. In connection with archaeological engineering , cultural-historical knowledge should be conveyed and thus the visitors should be given access to the roots, to their own history, to participate in the cultural heritage. The project was funded, among other things, within the framework of the EU funding program LEADER , as a model innovative action in rural areas .
