actuellement disponible uniquement en langue anglaise
The site of Wangen-Hinterhorn was discovered in 1856 and represents the first prehistoric pile dwelling site, identified in the shallow water zone of the Bodensee. The examination of the sediments shows three settlement phases, with important assemblages associated with the „Pfyner“, the „Michelsberg“ and the „Horgen”cultures, respectively. Large parts of the archaeological sediments remain buried and untouched in the ground.
