hamuG - Hallstattzeitliches Museum Großklein — Attraction in Großklein

Großklein is a market town in south of Styria, not so far from the border to Slovenija, between Leibnitz and Arnfels. The Burgstallkogel a few kilometers out of the center of Großklein is a place where the Celts lived in a Bronze Age settlement. Today you can even see the terrasses, where the houses stood. Many things of all-day use, like parts of cups or the drilled stones for the use of the looms, parts of weapons, bronze parts for holding toogether the clothes of the poeple. Nearly of this settlement is a graveyard with a couple of hill-graves, you can see today at all. Some of them where opened by archeologists. The findings are partly showed in the Hallstattzeitliches Museum, you can find in the core of Großklein. All around the Burgstallkogel where found graves and houses, stables where the Celtic poeple lived. Four graves of Celtic princes, with rich findings in this grave, things they gave with the died into their graves, for an use in a afterlife. It was a mask and hands made of gold, in Großklein you can view the replics, the originals are in the Nationalmuseum Joaneum in the city of Graz. The settlements around Großklein are very considerable for ancient history. There are from time to time archeologists there for digging, sometimes farmers find things, when they prepare the fields for the season. For not destroy the findings, they are recovered by the archeologists in an emergency action.

A ax of stone, Bronze-knives and cords and ropes of hemp-fibres. It is an amazing place, you should visit, when you come to this area.

Leider keine Fotos gemacht, jedoch eine große Empfehlung das Museum zu besuchen. Die Liebe Dame am Empfang ist mit großer Liebe und viel Herz bei der Sache und gab uns viele viele Informationen, sowie war sie für Fragen, zu Antworten bereit.

Viel Spaß...

Das Museum ist unbedingt zu empfehlen.
