Germanic War Sacrifice Sites Examined in Kalkriese Exhibition

Running from April 25, 2026, to November 7, 2026, the Museum und Park Kalkriese will host the exhibition 'Verlorene Krieger – Germanen zwischen Macht & Mythos.' This showcase will present artifacts from Nydam and Thorsberg, along with items from the Varus Battle collection. The exhibition comes after renovations at the Archäologisches Landesmuseum Schleswig at Schloss Gottorf, which commenced in August 2025, with financial backing of €40,950 from Kulturstiftung der Länder. Dr. Christine Regus emphasized its significance for understanding the Roman influence in Germania. Featuring over 1,200 pieces from Schleswig collections, it will also incorporate insights from archaeologists for the museum's permanent display. Key supporters include Stiftung Niedersachsen, Stiftung der Sparkasse Osnabrück, and Niedersächsisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kultur.
