Vortrag: "Ausgrabungen in Köln zu Spätantike und Frühmittelalter 2: Kölner Dom" mit Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ristow

In the organizer's words:

Cologne Cathedral has three things in common with the Praetorium at MiQua: it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the excavations and initial interpretations were founded by Cologne city archaeologist Otto Doppelfeld. There is an archaeological continuity between the 1st century AD and the Carolingian period of the 8th/9th century that can be determined from the finds and features. The Gothic cathedral stands in the north-east of the former walled Roman city area. Extensive archaeological excavations were carried out here from 1946 to 1997. Sebastian Ristow's lecture describes the architectural development of the predecessors of today's cathedral.

This lecture on the Cologne Cathedral excavations begins at 16:00 and will be repeated at 18:30.
