Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Urn from the grave field of Körchow
  • Körchow, District of Ludwigslust, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany

In this extensive grave field for cremation remains, 443 burials have been documented to date. The dead were interred in ceramic vessels that served as urns. The vessels' forms, their coloration ranging from dark to black, and the pronounced smoothing of their outer surfaces suggest that bronze vessels served as models. The grave goods, such as weapons and belt fittings, are of Elbe Germanic origin, while a few bronze vessel sets for wine drinking originated in the Roman Empire.

  • Photographed while on display from 22 August 2008 to 11 January 2009 in the exhibition "Die Langobarden. Das Ende der Völkerwanderung" at the Rheinisches LandesMuseum Bonn. On loan from the Archäologisches Landesmuseum des Landesamtes für Kultur und Denkmalpflege Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Schwerin, Deutschland.
Deutsch: Urne aus dem Gräberfeld von Körchow
  • Körchow, Landkreis Ludwigslust, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Deutschland

In dem ausgedehnten Brandgräberfeld konnten bisher 443 Bestattungen nachgewiesen werden. Die Toten waren in Keramikgefäßen, die als Urnen dienten, beigesetzt. Die Formensprache, die dunkle bis schwarze Farbe und die starke Glättung der Gefäßoberflächen lassen vermuten, dass hier Bronzegefäße als Vorbild gedient hatten. Die Grabbeigaben, wie Waffen und Gürtelgarnituren, sind elbgermanischer Herkunft, während vereinzelt nachgewiesene Gefäßsätze aus Bronze für den Weingenuss aus dem Römischen Reich stammen.
