Default The shaman from Bad Dürrenberg

The shaman from Bad Dürrenberg



This reconstruction shows the shaman in her full regalia.

A powerful woman

In the shade of the forest there is space for encounters of a special kind. The 30 to 40-year-old woman was buried bedded in raddle around 9,000 years ago. The lavish inventory of grave goods attests to a special social role of the deceased. The enormous diversity of animal species represented in the grave, of which not all would have been just food supplies for the afterlife, is remarkable. Ethnographic comparisons suggest that some objects are to be interpreted as requisites of shamanistic practices.
