Archaeology in the Lecture: The Excavation at the Old Market Revisited
With the lecture by Dr. Eva Manz, an exciting insight into the depths of Bielefeld's city history opens up. In the event hall SO2 at Kavalleriestraße 17, archaeological research brings the results of the excavation at the Old Market to the forefront – an evening for everyone interested in historical layers, urban development, and the method of archaeological analysis. Admission is free. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1547821))
When the Ground Becomes a Source
Archaeology makes the past readable. From the findings, evidence, and traces obtained layer by layer, a precise picture of earlier usage, urban density, and everyday life emerges. The lecture by Archaeology at Hellweg eG and the Working Group on the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period promises a well-founded interpretation of those results that remain hidden in storage or in scientific reports.

City History as an Aesthetic Experience
Those who hear archaeological results do not experience a mere data situation but rather a form of cultural education: ceramics, walls, pits, and wear marks become carriers of memory. Especially at the Old Market, questions of continuity, change, and the social topography of a city that does not let its past stagnate in a museum but critically examines it become concentrated.

Lecture with Scientific Precision
Dr. Eva Manz brings the perspective of professional archaeology and makes visible how historical interpretations emerge from excavation, documentation, and evaluation. The audience can expect an knowledgeable yet vivid presentation that places the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period in a lively context with the present.
