The Sumpfringwall (not Sumpfschanze) is, as the table describes, a former castle wall from 700 BC. and was settled by only a few generations after it was destroyed by a great fire.

Nature and monument protection not only have common traditions, but are often also linked by common interests. The workshop focuses on this interaction between nature conservation and archaeological monument preservation and follows an event in Dresden's Blockhaus, which in 2012 under the title "Nature conservation and archeology - an unusual partnership?" already discussed synergies between nature conservation and monument preservation. What was mainly presented there in general is now being substantiated at an endangered monument, the Biehla swamp hill. The ring wall is now in the FFH area "Teichgebiet Biehla-Weissig" and is one of the few sites in Saxony where organic remains have been preserved through the preservation of wet soil. During excavations in the years 2000-2003, a variety of findings and finds were found near the surface, including prehistoric wood in the original position of house and wall constructions. A rare species of orchid also grows inside the swamp. The preservation of the nature-protected condition of the wet meadow from the natural succession of an alder swamp forest not only prevents the archaeological finds from being penetrated by young trees and reeds, but also helps to preserve the rare plants. The focus of the workshop is therefore the development of a protection concept that can do justice to all interests. In addition to the archaeological heritage, nature conservation aspects as well as water management and pond management will also be presented in the lectures. The workshop is held in cooperation with the Saxony State Office for Archeology, the Saxony State Office for the Environment, Agriculture and Geology, the district of Bautzen (West Lusatia Museum, Lower Nature Conservation Authority, Lower Monument Protection Authority), the Lessingstadt Kamenz, the municipality of Schönteich, the Pro Archaeologia Saxoniae Foundation , the Archaeological Society in Saxony e.V. (AGiS e.V.) and the State Association of Saxon Homeland Protection e.V.
