Everything about The Thorsberg Moor totally explained
The
Thorsberg moor (
Thorsberger Moor,
Tosbarch,
Tåsbjerre "
Thor's hill") near
Süderbrarup in
Anglia,
Schleswig-Holstein,
Germany from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD served as the location of votive deposits by the
Angles and is hence the location of important
Roman Iron Age finds, including early
Elder Futhark inscriptions such as the
Thorsberg chape, a Roman helmet, a shield buckle, and early socks. The finds are of similar importance as the contemporary finds from Danish
Illerup and
Vimose.
The deposits dedicated to Thor from ca. AD 200 become more martial in character. This trend has been connected with the
Marcomannic war (AD 166 to 180). Just outside the moor is an Iron Age
tumulus with a
stone circle.
The moor was excavated 1858 to 1861 by
Flensburg teacher Conrad Engelhardt. The objects recovered by Engelhardt are on exhibit in the
Gottorp Palace museum; another 500 finds are on exhibit in
Copenhagen.
