The World of the Celts at the Glauberg (Keltenwelt am Glauberg)

The Glauberg (near Bad Homburg, Germany) is a very special place and was already settled by humans as early as the late Stone Age. The finds from three Celtic burials from the 5th century BC, and the statue of a Celtic ruler are unique and recognised throughout the world as an archaeological sensation.

The museum was opened in 2011 and is part of the World of the Celts at the Glauberg. This also includes a research centre and a large archaeological park. In the park you will find the reconstruction of a burial mound, a mysterious system of banks and ditches, and fortifications from early Celtic times. Further monuments from other historical periods can be seen on the Glauberg plateau.

With us you can submerge yourself in a world that was created by our Celtic ancestors 2,500 years ago.

I was lucky enough to have been at the Glauberg in 1998 when they were excavating the main burial mound. I always said I would one day return. Nearly twenty years later, I was invited back to the Glauberg, where the museum was hosting its annual kite festival. I flew alongside the German kite club to capture some images of the site/area and festival over the two days. The first days weather was pretty miserable with little wind. This proved an excellent opportunity to visit the excellent museum and glean all of those wonderful finds that I have been waiting all of this time to see. The second day was far more promising and attracted many visitors. A great weekend had by all.
