"Unexpected Discovery": Medieval Plaything Unearthed in Freiburg by Archaeologists
In the heart of Freiburg, Germany, an archaeological rescue excavation has unearthed fascinating insights into the medieval city's urban planning and craftsmanship. The excavations reveal that when the Neuburg was founded under Count Konrad of Freiburg, the street network was laid out first.
The dig on a 4,000 square meter site between Albert and Habsburger Street unveiled remains of medieval walls, suggesting a well-planned and structured urban layout. As the excavation progressed, a series of craftsmen's houses were identified along the Ziegelgasse, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of medieval artisans.
Parallel to the Ziegelgasse, a medieval "industrial area" was marked out. The layout of this area, with its focus on fire safety, suggests it may have been home to pottery kilns. This hypothesis is supported by the discovery of pottery kilns in the area, a find made possible by the construction project of the Oberfinanzschule in Freiburg.
For decades, medieval ceramics have been surfacing in the region around Freiburg, but until now, no workshops for small clay figurines from the early 14th century have been found in Freiburg itself. The discovery of these kilns and related findings is significant for researchers, as it suggests that such workshops may have been overlooked until now.
The excavation also sheds light on the systematic layout of Freiburg's suburbs in the Middle Ages. One of the most exciting discoveries is the intact Ziegelgasse, a medieval street that has remained undisturbed for centuries. This find offers a unique opportunity for researchers to study medieval urban planning and craftsmanship in greater detail.
The archaeological rescue excavation in Freiburg offers a comprehensive insight into medieval urban planning and craftsmanship, providing valuable information for historians and enthusiasts alike. The discoveries made during this excavation will undoubtedly contribute to a better understanding of life in medieval Freiburg.
