„Pan na Lednicy” – wspomnienie o prof. Andrzeju Marku Wyrwie (1955-2022)

In recent years, the Archaeological Museum Hamburg has focused on the investigation and scientific re-examination of the two most important fortifications in the centre of Hamburg. The results of the recent excavations at Hammaburg (2005-2006) and Neue Burg (2014-2020) contributed significantly to the re-evaluation of Hamburg’s early medieval urban development. The almost seamless development of the city from its beginnings as a simple Saxon fortification via the Hammaburg, which gave it its name, to the ‘Neue Burg’ as the largest fortification in northern Germany, can be traced through the archaeological investigations. Future research on the other fortifications in the city area will certainly yield further important results on the development of the region during the Middle Ages.
