On September 5, the IV festival of living history "Flame of Arkaim" will be held, organized by our Association and the Archaeological Reserve ARKAIM.

During the weekend of 12 and 13 September, storytellers, puppet shows and farces can be seen and heard in the preHistorisch Dorp. 

On Saturday, September 5th, 2020 and on Sunday, September 6th, 2020, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the well-known flint knapper, qualified biologist Markus Plesker, will once again offer a course in the Dithmarschen Stone Age Park to learn the art of working flint with stone age means for beginners with and without previous knowledge.

Participants learn about the history and theoretical background of the weight loom. In practice, it is about the individual steps up to the weaving. Two participants work on a loom.

Leather and skins were the most important basis for Stone Age clothing. However, other materials for special purposes have also been used since the first farmers. Around 5,000 years ago, the finest fabrics made from linen were found in Europe's pile dwellings.

This Sunday we pay attention to the dog: from 1 to 4 p.m., rescue dogs are in action and at 2 p.m. various dog breeds from Irish Wolfhound to dogs of the original type such as Samoyed or Finnish Lapphund are presented at the breed presentation. 

Join the many games in prehistory, Roman times and Middle Ages.

How did our ancestors' lives change when they became sedentary farmers and did agriculture and animal husbandry? How did one live? What do we still know about them today?
