THE POWER OF THE CELTS
Celtic power centre – 2,400 years ago
In the Wetterau region, traces of the Celts are numerous and still visible today in the form of spectacular finds, burial mounds and ring ramparts. The Glauberg is a cultural and historical landmark of European significance. Excavations uncovered three Celtic princely graves and a life-size statue of a Celtic prince. They can be admired at the Celtic World at Glauberg.
Scattered across the Wetterau, there were many rural settlements dominated by princely seats such as the Glauberg and the Altkönig in the Taunus.
The Celts made use of the very fertile soil and lived off agriculture. They also mined raw materials such as iron ore; later, salt works were added.
The Celtic World at Glauberg, a unique archaeological site, invites you on a journey into the world of the Celts.
