2,300-Year-Old Celtic Village and Roman Settlement Unearthed in Munich, Germany

What's Insight

Munich, globally celebrated for its vibrant culture and architectural marvels, has an enthralling tale to tell.

The recent discovery of a 2,300-year-old intact Celtic village and an adjoining Roman settlement has made the city's history even richer and profound.

Situated in the northern suburbs of Munich, this newfound Celtic village holds the distinction of being the first ever complete Celtic village discovered in Bavaria.

Its roots trace back to the late Iron Age, under the influence of the La Tène civilization, and this settlement flourished for an impressive millennium, transitioning from the Celts to the Romans over time.

According to Carl Göderz, the lead archaeologist, the excavation's scope was immense, painting a clearer picture of Munich's expansive history.

As we unearth layers of the city's past, the coexistence and eventual departure of these ancient communities become more vivid.

The story of Munich, as we know it, continues to evolve, becoming an ever-enriching tapestry of time and civilizations.
