 to my lecture. We're now moving on from the early new period of writing age to the high new era and the next phase of urbanization. Let's make this the predecessor and the formula of writing history and the volume like as best mentioned, Twizzle. What I want to point out is pretty much the main parts of my PhD work finished in 2015. I'm going to start with a brief introduction on Schleswig. And the most important thing about Schleswig to know is its faithful typographic location. Schleswig is located in both Schleswig-Holstein and south of Denmark at the nearest part of the so-called Gimbal of the Atlantic peninsula. And this typographic position and in this nearest part, this position in between the several economic zones, economic zone of the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, with the immigrants, as well as the combined connections of the German and the Scandinavia. This is really important for the medieval trade connections. This becomes also clear when we slide into Schleswig-Holstein and we have really good access to Schleswig as well. From the Baltic, as one of the now seen by ship, is just an average of 15 to 20 kilometers in between. So you have really good access for the main transportation vessel in medieval times. So this example is situated in the inner end of the Schleifdorf. Today's city, extended, is going to be sealed in this manner. We'll also be recognizing the famous semi-circular long part of the heavily and just a few minutes of north there is Schleifdorf located. This is a former peninsula, as I was showing you now. On the digital ratio, though, this is the former peninsula. Basically, the old town was founded in the mid, around the mid-19th century. And the blue lines are the historical shoreline. And this is an expanse now when we come to the next, but I'm going to tell you the features, the ecological features, and how they are to be understood. That's one of the main things. This peninsula is approximately 12 hectares in size with an additional peninsula on the right-hand side. Some hard facts about Schleifdorf, and I know that it is, as I mentioned, already the success of Viking Christianity. It has been a bishop's seat with Casino and with his seven churches. It was a place of power. There was a peninsula of the Danish king and the seat of the Duke of Schleifdorf, located in Schleifdorf itself. But most importantly, Schleifdorf is its economic power. It was one of the major hubs of North European long-distance trade. And it's not about the large hinterland for Schleifdorf. It's just about this special topographic position that all the draperies have come in from North Jordan links and going up to southern France on fire, Schleswig. And this is the important thing to know. It's not more that the goods are stored there and maybe very important for the higher society of the Danish kingdom. It's more like this managing of those different draperies that come together in Schleifdorf. Schleifdorf has been subjected to the other kind of excavation starting off in the 1950s. And there was a large old town restoration campaign in the 70s, opening a lot of soil. And most of these red parts in the former old town are resulting from this era. And one of the large excavations there is a street in the Havenstraße. And they, as you can see, they are in between the former shoreline of the Danish country. They reveal a good basis for the former Havenra and the shore development. And what also is to say is that we have arrived in the 11th century. So the early structures in this area have been well preserved. So we have mainly constructed from the 11th and 12th century. I hope completely they have been completely revealed. So we are talking about thousands of preserved wooden features. And yes, how to deal was such a good basis. It has been excavated in the 70s. What the excavator did back then was a method set up for helping us to go down in artificial layers of 50 centimeters and more every 15 centimeters. What turned out were 350 large-scale drawings of 150 in size and 150 different lengths. And they are the same 120. And you have an example of how they looked like. This is like a small scene from one of those large-scale drawings. And you have all information on them, like the soil information, the information of the activities, et cetera. And what I, the colleague, did was to put every single of those drawings, scan them, and digitize them in GIS. Then we was in the examination of Denver's samples. I had at least 500 people looking at these on approximately 9,000 identified wooden features. What turned out was this GIS project. This is my job, and we collect, of course, the excess data base. And we could also, you know, we see a scene application to make a string demo of it. So this was my base interpretation. And now I'm going to do the major results of my interpretations. This is a situation of less than around 1,100. Mr. Demol results out of the axine data. So at least the central part of this picture does, fits one-to-one with the original data. And of course, the other center goes up more. It's like kind of interpretation and reconstruction. But at least the positions of the houses and everything else is on the correct place. What you see here is a marketplace, a hardware market in Schleswig in the central area. And we have a lot of dance structures on both sides, with houses and workshops and other facilities on it. And we have a street system running from the shore into the city center. Everything started out in Schleswig in the 1770s. The Schleswig expression, 1771, is the earliest end date from Schleswig now to date. But as early as in the 1775, we have the first development of the shore in Schleswig. And what happened then was to a layout of our rectangular plots set in right angle to the shore. And they have been connected with a short parallel street and also the streets running from the shore to the city center. This is a plot to mainly be seen in the upper part of the picture. The next step was the development of the waterfront. And this is the most interesting thing happening in Schleswig. Because as early in the late 1080s, the old pincel was just at a mid-sized, fully developed. So that was the neck of space. And what happened is that the people around our rent in those plots moved into the channel of water. And they built some barcats from the spilled wood planks, spilled with brushwood, dented soil. So they have massive platforms with dozens of their parcels on the plots. And it started out in 1927. And then the neighbors had one of them in 1988. And then proceeded on the whole side of the shore of the Ohtang Peninsula, Schleswig. And it doesn't stay at this point that people started to move on. So after a couple of years, they set the next path in front of the old dam contract. And so they pruned it further into the deep of water of the Schleif fjord. So by 1100, this result in the picture I just showed you. And as those dam structures followed exactly the plots, where we are moving in private facilities, those dam structures are also different. They look the same as they are different in detail. They use different kinds of wood, for example, on different sizes and have different development on it. And what followed of these dams was having the best wood in two years later, they built houses on it. And what workshops they had were also empty space on it and pigments. And on those plots, on those dams, there were professional merchants who housed their professional traders in this area. And they just made a type of fixed root there for many people, for many types of the high-key society. It's going to name a world in the trade. And the merchants from the same professional trade, this is an old step that can be pictured here, because there were lots of mines involved, the slaves were involved in the trade back then, the king itself and all the men around us. So you don't have to get the class of a trader, but different kinds of people of society are involved in the trade back then. And what can be seen here in Schleswig is that we have a kind of competition in the favor position and the waterfront, because all the ships with the goods and the foreign traders emerged through Schleswig. The carts come from Holystead. You may not see how they're of Schleswig to this place. And when having them ground in this kind of pool position in the harbour, they attract those foreign merchants. So they were housed on those dams, and the inspectors in the houses because of what's coming, which you have to be scanning here to house foreign merchants for a couple of days. And so the most profited for each other was win-win situation, by having this plot and this intersection on the side, but the guests could use it in a particular tune. The trade itself, but it took place on public ground. And this is the exception. This is a plot on the inspection which is twice as big as the private owned facilities. It's a plot without any bit of structure. There's one exception. This is a special kind of house. It's a special... It has been specially constructed in another way, like the normal houses, but the rest is a clear place, empty place. And we also have the large amount of this spherical zone which already had to go from one to two early on. And this is the highest level of those zone rates that are found in this area of the marketplace. So the marketplace was important at times for creating public for transactions because you don't... When you're a foreign and this is a city like Schleswig, in the town like Schleswig, there's the problem that when you're tricked or fooled because when you're in a transaction, you have to prove it, but you have to prove the net. You can call an eye witness if you want to call. And when the transaction takes place in public, you can name people who were witnesses, right-of-it was this transaction of the schooling. And on the other hand, the king who controls the city in Schleswig had the interest in having public transactions because he was a text, this transaction is probably... The text, of course, the chips that are coming to Schleswig and the cards that are coming to Schleswig, but probably also the text in the transaction itself. To sum up, the Schleswig waterfront is well-developed in towns and the Schleswig waterfront, you can develop three caves from the empty shore up to the school, probably developed waterfront with dam structures, street infrastructure, and landing facilities for ships. We have those similar shore installations in the 21st century, we know them from London, but they're not in no other place. There's such a relevant development in Schleswig. And I would like to close with the contextualization of those just presented. And the 11th century in Northern Europe can be described as some catchphrases, like urbanization, Christianization. We have the rise of Scandinavian canyons and the territorial states. We have a prophetization of merchant seafaring connected with the larger and more effective transport vessels with a higher amount of pike, carbon trade, and so on. And of course, we have a waterfront development. And this is where Schleswig is in the dream. And this is the missing link for what we know already. We started off in the early Middle Ages, the Viking Age, with the beach markets on the sea for medications, simple landing places. And then developed the late Viking Age to a complex harbor markets, as we know from Hedley, for example, and with landing facilities like Jetty's. And from the late Middle Ages, we have a vision of trade functions. Like central marketplaces inside, cities known from pretty much all, and they have towns on the Baltic Sea. There's a central marketplaces where the local people get their stuff. But the professional trade, the large carbon trade, stays inside the houses of the properties of the professional merchants. And I have brought up to you there, and I presented the speech of the Fengen-Sieben house in the Arctic and the Arctic Septuages, because it's like the sense of the power of the Arctic and its sea after the enemy. And the Arctic Ocean, the large storage facilities inside is still there. And the waterfront was just remained just for allowing and handling ships and doing ship services, but not for this large trade actions anymore. And what I just showed you, which let's begin the 11th century, is more or less the missing thing in this development. Let's say it still has this harbor market situation where transactions take place. I brought that waterfront, but we already have this private facilities of emerging professional merchants that the class has just developed and just has a class that is just emerging from the semi-professional status to him, to his high-professional merchants and very much as we know from the labor leaders. We are going to like to close. And thank you for your attention.
