Roland Warzecha from the Hamburg fencing school "Dimicator" and an international group of interested fighters will provide insights into reconstructed historical martial arts of the Viking Age at the Viking Houses in Haithabu. The basis for this is the careful evaluation of historical sources and archaeological finds. 

During the training, the participants approach the art of fencing from the Viking Age using methods from experimental archaeology. There is enough time during the fencing breaks to answer questions from interested visitors. 

The demonstrations take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
