At our second event on prehistory and local history, Michael Baales (LWL Archaeology for Westphalia) will focus on the Ruhr conurbation as an important discovery region of our oldest past, the Palaeolithic period. Remarkable discoveries have been made here in recent decades. For example, important finds from the Neanderthal period have come to light during extensive construction work on the Emscher and other rivers, which Michael Baales will discuss alongside other finds from the Ruhr region.

After the lecture, there will be time for questions and a discussion over drinks and snacks.
