Widderstatt Celtic Settlement

A special attraction is the scenic "Widderstatt" site, located on the Jüchsen-Wachenbrunn road, one of the most important prehistoric settlements in southern Thuringia.The first evidence of the Celtic settlement "Widderstatt" was discovered in 1905 by the Jüchsen pastor F. Späth, and in 1954, Klaus Heydenblut from Themar discovered the first bronze jewelry and fragments of glass arm rings. In 1966, under the direction of Prof. Behm-Blanke (honored by a memorial stone in the Widderstatt), systematic excavations began (2 x 70-meter sections) of 1.2 hectares from the stream to the Toter Mann parcel, heading west.
