Upstalsboom - Frisian Freedom Frisian Freedom remains a unique feature of East Frisia. In the Middle Ages, from the 11th to the 14th centuries, it was a singular form of society in contrast to the rest of feudal Europe. It represented a league of independent rural communities along the Frisian coast. Their freely elected representatives typically met on the Tuesday after Pentecost, later known as Oll' Mai (Old May), at the Upstalsboom in Rahe near Aurich to ensure justice and freedom for all Frisians. The distinctive features of Frisian Freedom included: no military service, the right to property, political participation, and personal freedom.

The man from Bernuthsfeld is a bog body dating from the late 7th or early 8th century that was found in 1907 in the Hogehahn moor near Tannenhausen in the Aurich district. A special feature of this archaeological find is the man's extraordinarily well-preserved woollen clothing.

A very beautiful moorland landscape, highly recommended.

This bog body probably dates from the 7th/8th Century. She is affectionately called Bernie. A special feature of Bernie is the very well-preserved woolen clothing, a colorful tunic with many patches wrapped in a large cape. Around his legs he wore the leg wraps, also known as gaiters, which were typical for this time. In addition to numerous physical influences such as healed wounds, but also sinus infections, etc., Bernie probably died of cancer. It is unclear why this corpse was not buried in a burial ground or cemetery, as is usually the case, but in the moor.

There is much more to discover along the Eternal Sea Route
