Workshop: Färben und  textile Techniken
May 17, 2025 - May 18, 2025 | Workshop

Workshop: Dyeing and textile techniques

Without thread there are no clothes.
According to this principle, participants learn elementary techniques of textile processing. They spin wool and flax with a hand spindle they made themselves, based on the early Celtic model. 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).

INFO
Director: Henny Fleck
Course: 2-day workshop from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
85 euros per person (including museum entrance and material)
The course is limited to ten people.

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.

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!

On the Archaeology theme weekend we offer a free shuttle bus service between the Glauberg train station and the Museum to.
Anyone arriving by public transport or parking their car at the train station will be conveniently taken to us.

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.

Archaeology Theme Weekend: Drugs versus Medicine

Theme Weekend Archaeology – Intoxicants versus Medicines

Drugs and medicinal plants play an important role in the history of mankind. According to archaeological sources, they have been used since the Stone Age to treat illnesses, to relieve pain, and also in religious rites. Alcohol, which is made from sugary plants and honey, has found a firm place in many societies, and not just as a luxury item. However, this should not obscure the fact that uncontrolled drug consumption also carries great risks.

The theme day is therefore dedicated to the controversial topic with numerous information stands and invites visitors to get to know the different sides of intoxicants but also of medicinal products derived from plants.
