Stone age village Randau
The stone age village Randau was created in 2001 in the form of an open-air museum on the northern edge of Randau, a settlement in the Magdeburg district of Randau-Calenberge .
The origins of the complex are the 4500 year old remains of a Neolithic post house from the Schönfeld culture, which were found in a valley sand dune on the banks of the Elbe . They were secured in 1941 by the conservationist Hans Lies and given to various museums.
The association founded in 2001 set itself the goal of reconstructing the stone age house. The facility was opened in 2003 after support from municipal job creation measures and volunteers. In the following years, replicas of a historic clay oven , a band ceramic longhouse , an early medieval pit house and a palisade fence were built on the two hectare site . Trees from the Neolithic Age were planted in part of the complex, and historical crops such as einkorn and emmer are shown. Tools, weapons and household items from the respective era are on display in the buildings.
