 High Tabu was once a major Viking settlement. Today, the reconstructed houses and the museum attract many visitors. From the 9th to the 11th century, High Tabu was an important trading center, easily accessible between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea at the end of the Schlei. It is also an important location for archaeologists. High Tabu is unique for archaeologists. High Tabu was never rebuilt, and in this way, the archaeologists can create here from the full. In over a hundred years of research work, you have made so many discoveries that many teams that meet the Viking times have just been promoted here in High Tabu. The museum near the Viking settlement presents many valuable exhibits. The museum is particularly proud of one object. After the site was used as a trading port for almost 300 years, the settlement activities were transferred to the northern banks of the Schlei in Schleswig. Over the centuries, the people probably did not even know that this important trading center of the Vikings was located within the 1.3 kilometer long and almost 10 meter high semi-circular wall. But then it was discovered by the Danish researcher Sophos Müller at the end of the 19th century. High Tabu lies, so to speak, on the transit routes of early medieval trade between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea as the central trading port. While the original finds are exhibited in the museum, experimental archaeology is presented at the Viking houses. Not all of the finds that were discovered at High Tabu are exhibited. Many of them are kept in the magazine for continual research. Then you simply search for the objects, because numerous objects are not yet properly evaluated or are also detected. You need a lot of time, but of course it is also very fascinating. So you just have to sort the found material in the overview. This bronze object is a rise-up puzzle. It was published 50 years ago about numerous new finds of such objects. We know that it is about the access to the device. With the development of archaeological research on existing sites, we often get information that gives us a completely new view. Adjacent to High Tabu, there is another important archaeological site, the Danevec, a large fortification from the past. The Danish rulers thus demarcated themselves to the south. It was also a protective wall for High Tabu's trade. 20 million of these rock stones were brought here, and a four-kilometer-long and three-meter-high wall was built. That was an incredibly impressive achievement. And in the Middle Ages, that is the last major expansion stage of the Middle Ages, the Waldemars wall was built that consists of bricks. The material is absolutely new in the region. The technology is probably imported from Lombardy and is built here with a four-kilometer-long and five- to seven-meter-high brick wall in the middle of a Heidel landscape. It must have been an incredibly impressive construction work. And we can see that you have always been state-of-the-art. A funny detail in the research of the Danevec is that you have animal helpers. In all the walls where the Waldemars wall stood, you still find such small bricks. That is why you could calculate how long the Waldemars wall actually was. In the 13th century, the Danevec lost its significance as a defensive structure, because rulership in the areas of Schleswig and Holstein slowly merged. This remained so for many centuries before the Danevec was reactivated in the 19th century during the national conflicts between Germany and Denmark. Since 1867, this area was part of the Danevec region to Germany. And now, both Danish archaeologists and German archaeologists are taking care of the Danevec, which became part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the Danevec is no longer a border, but rather a bridge. We work together to preserve this and to distribute it. In many different places throughout Europe and beyond, thus creating also the opportunity for expressing what is the contribution of archaeology to the full understanding of human past, our present and our future, thus creating also the opportunity to produce a bigger picture of what European archaeology means.
