In search of the drainage points of the Danube near Aach, the retired Upper Postal Councilor Eduard Peters explored the Wasserburgertal and the area around the Brudertal together with the geologist and paleontologist Wilhelm Deecke.
On August 18, 1927 Eduard Peters found in his search for sites of the Stone Age the first evidence of a Stone Age station, in two subsequent excavations he explored this locality. In 1930 he published a work about it.

The researcher Peters has found extensive finds, 1,000 bone and antler instruments, 50,000 flint artefacts, 1.5 tons of bones from glacial animals. The Petersfels and the Stone Age Park you should definitely take a look.
