| „If you are sitting on cultural assets like these, you just have to participate“, says Inge Löw. With the archeological group in Erkenbrechtsweiler she searches for evidence from past times and with the Celtic group she brings the historical oppidum “Riusiava” back to life. | ||

| Archeologists are people who studied archeology, one might think. However there are also people who gained an extensive knowledge about history and archeological methods for years and decades in their spare time and who pass on this knowledge to other historically interested people. Franz Weiss is such a self-taught archeologist and leads the archeological group in Erkenbrechtsweiler. If neccessary he also does rescue excavation together with other volunteer archeologists if so the excavation does not delay a company’s demolition and construction plan and at the same time rescues the silent witnesses of the past, which would be lost without the volunteers’ commitment. | ||
 At “Unteren Straße 6” in Erkenbrechtsweiler the “Archäologische Gruppe“ has their workshop and exhibition. From May to September visitors are welcome to come for a visit on Sunday mornings between 10 am and 1 pm. |

 Inge Löw is interested in many historical epochs. Besides her Celtic garment she also has a medieval dress. Sandra Linsenmayer offers guides tours in Münsingen where she dresses up as a market woman from the Middle Ages and tells the history and anecdotes of Münsingen and Urach (Stadtrundgänge). |
