In this land before our time - Bautzen's prehistory

In this land before our time

Fascinating for over 3,000 years – special places in Bautzen

Buildings, streets, factories or even centuries-old towers – what would remain if you imagine all this gone here? A hill on the steep bank of the Spree, opposite a rock surrounded on three sides by the Spree, both well suited to build defensive walls on. These are also places with access to water, places where the warm daytime sun shines, where grain can be grown nearby, or sandy plateaus and hilltops where the ancestors can be laid to rest with dignity. To learn what it looked like here long before the beginning, a visit to the Prehistory and Early History department of the Museum Bautzen is worthwhile!

Those who are lively and curious can hike or bike in and around Bautzen to the oldest settlement traces, enjoy plenty of nature and perhaps the most beautiful panoramic views of Bautzen's medieval town view ...
