Archaeological-Ecological Centre Albersdorf (AÖZA)
Ever been in the Stone Age? Archaeological and ecological landscapes.
The Archaeological-Ecological Centre Albersdorf (AÖZA)
Since 1997 the Archaeological-Ecological Centre Albersdorf (AÖZA) in the
country of Dithmarschen in the western part of Schleswig-Holstein is working
on the aim to re-establish a cultural landscape from the Neolithic for about
5.000 years ago on an area of about 80 acres.
To realize the idea the
project takes the following concrete steps:
▪ By a mostly natural, but on the base of a landscape-plan controlled
development the AÖZA wants to establish in a long-term perspective a type of
landscape which reminds in its structure, proportion and in other aspects of
a Neolithic environment. The principle theme for the landscape-development
is a half-open pasture woodland, which is formed by the domestic animals of
the first farmers. The first domestic animals - sheep and cattle of old
species - have already begun with their "work" for the
landscape-development.
▪ In a second step the AÖZA is - since the summer of 1999 - building up
a “Neolithic village” as an open-air museum on the project area in the
immediate neighborhood of original prehistoric grave monuments.
▪ The third and completing step will be the opening of a permanent
exhibition about "Mankind and Environment in Prehistory" (which was planned
for the year 2005). |
