Vandring

The Grafenrain sand pit was converted into a nature park and shows, as an example, the sediment layer situation on a 25-meter-high section of the terrain, which corresponds to the site where Homo heidelbergensis was found (no longer accessible today). Mauer's lower jaw is the oldest fossil of the Homo genus to have been recovered in Germany to date. It was discovered in 1907. The age of the lower jaw was dated absolutely for the first time in 2010 and is therefore said to be 609,000 ± 40,000 years.

Vandring

The Neckar River once flowed here, depositing sand. Excavations then uncovered the remains of a Homo sapiens.
