Renovation work at Neumünster Abbey has uncovered human skeletons from the Middle Ages or the 16th and 17th centuries, likely from a cemetery connected to an ancient hospice, as reported by the National Institute for Archaeological Research.
The human skeletons discovered during construction work at Neumünster Abbey have been dated to the Middle Ages or the 16th and 17th centuries, according to the National Institute for Archaeological Research.
Information obtained by RTL indicates that the skeletons likely originate from a cemetery associated with a hospice that existed on the site from 1313 to 1550. The area later became the location of a monastery, where St John's Church now stands.
The remains were uncovered during the renovation of Neumunster Abbey, specifically during the redevelopment of the Grund church forecourt. This follows earlier discoveries of cemetery remnants in the same area.
