Socialist “child republics” on the Namedyer Werth

Recently I had here already mentioned the Kaltwassergeysir on the Namedyer Werth. But the peninsula in the Rhine did not only offer in former times this rare nature play, but also place for political experiments.

Actually the Namedyer Werth is today no more island, rather a promontory at the Rhine bank, short behind other oh one. Over-rampantly grown of a species-rich nature and with shell-scattered beaches the Werth was explained today as the protected area.

Socialist “child republics” on Namedy

Also over the politically most stretching chapter from Namedy proverbially grass grew. Where today the Gestrüpp rampantly grows man high and against the motorway B9 anzwitschern, which rumbles on an ugly concrete bridge over the peninsula, once thousand worker children a political experiment practiced the birds in vain. Between 1929 and 1931 “child republics” were proclaimed here, which was large camps of the left child friend movement with in to two thousand participants, in whom the usually lack-nourished children a summer were not long only high-pampered, but political going attempts made.

Archaeologists discovered several “bulls in such a way specified” with excavations at the University of grab forest. They were in a latrine pit.

With excavations on the area of the University of grab forest archaeologists found four approximately 600 years old Pope seals in a latrine pit.

In the past decade comparable seals are found despite intensive excavation activity in Germany only isolate.

The four round lead seals are about 3.5 centimeters large and weigh somewhat more than 50 gram. They originate from the Pontifikat from Pope Bonifatius IX., which was from 1389 to 1404 head of the catholic church. Whereupon the inscription refers VIIII on the front “BONIFATIUS.”. On the back are illustrations of the Apostel Petrus and Paulus. The seals are to be demonstrated later in the context of the exhibition “archaeology under the bitumen” in Wismar.
