Workshop: Dyeing and textile techniques

Dyeing the yarn over an open fire gives an insight into the richness of colors in nature, which the Celts also appreciated. During the weekend we dye red (madder), blue (indigo) and yellow (plant or mushroom).

Workshop: Gras- oder Binsenkörbchen herstellen
May 29, 2025 | Workshop

Workshop: Making grass or rush baskets

People have always needed containers to collect and store things.
To do this, they made use of the materials that nature provided them with. They used these to make baskets and the like. Unfortunately, there are only a few rare archaeological finds, as the organic materials used are only preserved under the most favourable conditions.

Themenwochenende Archäologie: Zweikampf
July 26, 2025 | event

Archaeology Theme Weekend: Duel

On this themed weekend we will be devoting ourselves to the history of single combat and its cultural significance. Fighting has always been more than just a necessity for humanity - it has developed into an art form. Archaeological finds from Glauberg and the region also demonstrate the central role of single combat in various eras.

What do we know about Celtic swordsmanship? How did Greek wrestlers, Roman gladiators and medieval knights fight? And what values do modern martial arts convey?

Look forward to combat shows from various groups. In addition, you can expect vivid lectures and much more about the history and archaeology of the combat culture. A varied program for everyone who is interested in martial arts and their cultural dimensions!

INFO
Venue: in the museum garden
Event time: from 10 am to 6 pm
Cost: children/young people: 1 EUR, adults: 4 EUR, under 6 years free

Archaeology Theme Weekend: Clothing and Textiles

Archaeology theme weekend - clothing and textiles

Clothes make the man! This proverb certainly also applied to the Celts. Fabrics and clothing from the Iron Age are therefore at the centre of the two theme days. Experience how fabrics were once made and dyed. Let yourself be introduced to the art of tablet weaving and learn about the working methods of textile archaeology at the information stand. Garments made from original finds will give you an idea of how the reconstruction of Celtic clothing is far more than just a craft challenge.

For children and adults, the Keltenwelt am Glauberg is offering an extensive hands-on programme on ancient textile techniques this weekend. For example, you can bring along an old item of clothing and dye it blue on site. You can also practise board weaving or spin a thread with hand spindles.

Participants who participated in the project 1qmlein.de Those who take part will receive free entry on the day of the event and can process their linen with us.
