Archaeological Renaissance in Saxony-Anhalt

Saxony-Anhalt is witnessing a remarkable surge in archaeological activity, highlighted by over 550 excavations across the region. Major projects, including the SuedOstLink power line and Intel's industrial site in Magdeburg, have unearthed significant findings.

Notable discoveries include the Nebra sky disk, ancient charnel houses from the Baalberge culture, and the 800-year-old barge boat in Arendsee. The rediscovery of the Mallerbacher pilgrimage chapel adds to the region's historical tapestry, while concerns mount over damage to Otto the Great's tomb in Magdeburg Cathedral.

Special exhibitions at the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle further showcase the rich heritage of this area, celebrating events such as the 500th anniversary of the Peasants' War and emphasizing Saxony-Anhalt's status as an archaeological treasure trove.
