Stilt house

Stilt houses or pile dwellings or palafitte are houses raised on piles over the surface of the soil or a body of water. Stilt houses are built primarily as a protection against flooding, but also serve to keep out vermin. The shady space under the house can be used for work or storage.

Houses where permafrost is present, in the Arctic, are built on stilts to keep permafrost under them from melting. Permafrost can be up to 70% water. While it's frozen, it provides a stable foundation. If heat radiating from the bottom of a home melts the permafrost, however, the home will go out of level, and start sinking into the ground. While other, more elaborate means of keeping the permafrost from melting are available, raising the home off the ground on stilts is one of the most effective ways.

History

In the Neolithic and Bronze Age, stilt-houses settlements were common in the Alpine and Pianura Padana (Terramare) region. Remains have been found at the Ljubljana Marshes in Slovenia and at the Mondsee and Attersee lakes in Upper Austria, for example. Early archaeologists like Ferdinand Keller thought they formed artificial islands, much like the Scottish Crannogs, but today it is clear that the majority of settlements were located on the shores of lakes and were only inundated later on. Reconstructed stilt houses are shown in open-air museums in Unteruhldingen and Zürich (Pfahlbauland). In June 2011, the prehistoric pile dwellings in six Alpine states were designated as the UNESCO World Heritage Site. A single Scandinavian pile dwelling, the Alvastra stilt houses, has been excavated in Sweden.

Prehistoric pile dwellings around Lake Zurich

Prehistoric pile dwellings around Lake Zurich comprises 11 – or 10% of all European pile dwelling sites – of a total of 56 prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps in Switzerland, that are located around Lake Zurich in the cantons of Schwyz, St. Gallen and Zürich.

Geography

These 11 – including one further on the nearby Greifensee and Robenhausen on Pfäffikersee lakeshore – prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements were built from around 5000 BC to 500 BC and are concentrated within an area of about 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi), on Lake Zurich respectively Obersee lakeshore in the cantons of Schwyz, St. Gallen and Zürich.

They were added, as part of a series of in all 111 European prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2011. Archaeological excavations were only conducted in some of the sites, to preserve the heritage for future generations. Nevertheless, the excavations yielded evidence that provides insight into life in prehistoric times during the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Alpine Europe and the way communities interacted with their environment. The settlements are a unique group of exceptionally well-preserved and culturally rich archaeological sites, which constitute one of the most important sources for the study of early agrarian societies.

Prehistory

Prehistory means literally "before history", from the Latin word for "before," præ, and Greek ιστορία. Human prehistory is the period from the time that behaviorally and anatomically modern humans first appear until the appearance of recorded history following the invention of writing systems. Since both the time of settlement of modern humans and the evolution of human civilisations, differ from region to region, prehistory starts and ends at different moments in time, depending on the region concerned.

Sumer in Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt were the first civilisations to develop their own scripts, and to keep historical records; this took place already during the early Bronze Age. The neighbouring civilisations of the Ancient Middle East were the first to follow. Most other civilisations reached the end of prehistory during the Iron Age.

Definition

As used in this article

This article is concerned with human prehistory, or the time since behaviorally and anatomically modern humans first appear until the beginning of recorded history. There are separate articles for the overall history of the Earth and the history of life before humans.

Tom Verlaine

Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller, December 13, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known as the frontman for the New York rock band Television.

Biography

Tom Verlaine was born Thomas Miller in Denville, New Jersey, and moved to Wilmington, Delaware at age 6. He began studying piano at an early age, but switched to saxophone in middle school after hearing a record by Stan Getz. Verlaine was initially unimpressed with the role of the guitar in both rock and jazz, and was only inspired to take up the instrument after hearing the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown" during his adolescence, at which point he began a long period of experimentation to develop a personal style. Verlaine also had an interest in writing and poetry from an early age. As a teen he was friends with future bandmate and punk icon Richard Hell (Richard Meyers) at Sanford School, a boarding school which they both attended. They quickly discovered that they shared a passion for music and poetry.

SUMMARY ======= Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps is a series of prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements in and around the Alps built from around 5000 to 500 B.C. on the edges of lakes, rivers or wetlands. 111 sites, located in Switzerland (56), Italy (19), Germany (18), France (11), Austria (5 sites), and Slovenia (2) were added to UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2011. In Slovenia, this was the first listed cultural world heritage site.Excavations, conducted in only some of the sites, have yielded evidence that provides insight into life in prehistoric times during the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Alpine Europe, and the way communities interacted with their environment. As the nomination stated, the settlements are a unique group of exceptionally well-preserved and culturally rich archaeological sites which constitute one of the most important sources for the study of early agrarian societies in the region.Contrary to popular belief, the houses were not erected over water, but on nearby marshy land. They were set on piles to protect against occasional flooding. Because the lakes have grown in size over time, many of the original piles are now under water, giving modern observers the false impression that they have always been this way.

This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article: Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago. Learning by listening is a great way to: - increases imagination and understanding - improves your listening skills - improves your own spoken accent - learn while on the move - reduce eye strain Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Diese sind daher Altfunde. Die kann man schlecht datieren.Wir haben aber neuere Einbaumfunde aus dem Zürichsee. Beispielsweise aus Männedorf. Dieser datiert aus dem 5. Jahrtausend vor Christus.Dann kennen wir auch Einbäume aus dem Pfäffikersee, beispielsweise Pfäffikon Riet. Der datiert einige Jahrhunderte später.Einbäume sind ein sehr urtümliches Transportmittel. Interessant ist aber, dass sie in der Schweiz bis ins 20. Jahrhundert produziert und verwendet wurden. Beispielsweise im Kanton Zug am Ägerisee, haben Fischer noch in den 1960er-Jahren Einbäume benutzt.Wenn wir in der Zeit zurückgehen, dann finden wir Einbäume im Mittelalter, wir finden sie in römischer Zeit, der Eisenzeit, Bronzezeit, Jungsteinzeit, und es geht noch weiter zurück bis in die Mittelsteinzeit. Also der Zeit, der Jäger und Sammler.Und aus dieser Zeit datiert der älteste Fund den wir kennen. Der älteste Fund eines Einbaums datiert ins 8. Jahrtausend vor Christus. Er stammt aus den Niederlanden, genauer aus Pesse.Es handelt sich um 3 Meter langen Einbaum, aus Kiefer produziert. Viele andere Hölzer waren in dieser Zeit eigentlich noch gar nicht vorhanden.Dieses Alter muss nicht so sehr erstaunen, denn wir haben auch indirekte Belege für Schifffahrt aus dieser Zeit. Genauer gesagt aus dem Mittelmeerraum. Hier haben wir beispielsweise Obsidianfunde auf dem Festland von Griechenland, die ins 9. Jahrtausend vor Christus datieren. Dieser Obisidian ist eine Art vulkanisches Glas. Dieses stammt von Mittelmeerinseln. Das Musste also übers Meer transportiert werden.Und es gibt auch noch weitere Hinweise. Beispielsweise die Kolonisierung der Mittelmeerinseln, wie zum Beispiel Zypern. Dort kommt man nur hin, wenn man 100 Kilometer über das Meer fährt und dies ist schon für das 9. Jahrtausend vor Christus belegt.In der Experimentalarchäologie bedient man sich heute moderner Methoden. Doch wie sah die Herstellung eines Einbaums vor tausenden von Jahren aus?Damals wurden Einbäume natürlich mit anderem Werkzeug gemacht. Beispielsweise Steinbeile oder Bronzebeile, je nach Epoche.Auch die Umgebung war anders. Man hatte keinen befestigten Boden, sondern arbeitete auf dem weichen Waldboden.Wie lange man damals an einem Einbaum gearbeitet hat, ist schwierig zu sagen, da man wenig Erfahrung mit prähistorischem Werkzeug hat. Heute brauchen wir zirka 120 bis 150 Stunden. Wenn man das mit dem Bronzebeil macht, ohne modernes Werkzeug, müsste man die Zeit mindestens verdoppeln, ich denke sogar verdreifachen.Einbäume waren damals ein sehr praktisches Transportmittel. Man konnte aufs Wasser, die offenen Verkehrswege. Übers Land war es wahrscheinlich noch sehr unwegsam.Man konnte Lasten transportieren, man konnte auf Fischfang gehen. Die Herstellung aus einem einzelnen Baum, war wahrscheinlich das, was damals am praktikabelsten war. Man musste nichts zusammenbauen und erhielt ein durchaus brauchbares Wasserfahrzeug.Es gab über die Epochen unterschiedliche Typen von Einbäumen. Man hatte auch, so könnte man sagen, eine modische Entwicklung.Dann gab es Einbäume aus unterschiedlichen Hölzern. Auch das hat ein bisschen variiert mit den Epochen. Je nach Baum konnte man ein grösseres oder kleineres Boot bauen. Was wir hier bauen sind eigentlich eher kleine Einbäume. Es gab durchaus Einbäume, welche doppelt so lang waren, 12 bis 13 Meter, und auch um einiges breiter. Da konnte man durchaus 10 bis 15 Leute reinsetzen.Man benutzte zur Herstellung der Einbäume Beile. Sehr viel anderes kam nicht zum Einsatz. Eventuell noch Feuer, mit dem man das Holz etwas ausbrennen konnte. Es gab Beile, die waren parallel geschäftet und solche die waren quer geschäftet und damit war es möglich, alle anfallenden Arbeiten auszuführen.Je nach Epoche haben natürlich die Werkzeuge gewechselt. In der Steinzeit wurden Steinbeile benutzt und später dann Kupfer- oder Bronzebeile, sobald diese verfügbar waren.

The town's main sights are concentrated in the Altstadt of Rapperswil and can be seen while strolling through the medieval alleys. The main sights of Rapperswil are its rose gardens, Rapperswil Castle, the reconstructed wooden bridge to Hurden with its bridge chapel Heilig Hüsli located at Seedamm, the Kapuzinerkloster (Capuchin's monastery), the remains of the Middle Ages fortifications located on Lake Zürich, Lindenhof hill, Herrenberg, Engelplatz, Hauptplatz, Bühlerallee and Fischmarktplatz at Rapperswil harbour. Rapperswil is often referred to as the "town of roses" (Rosenstadt) because of its extensive displays of roses in three designated parks. No less than 15,000 plants of 600 different kinds may be viewed between June and October. There is also a rose garden in the town center, accessible to blind and disabled people. The old town (Altstadt) is dominated by the Schloss Rapperswil located at the peninsula called Endingen, Lindenhof and Herrenberg on Lake Zürich perched atop this rocky hill at the bay of Kempraten. The castle dates back to the early 13th century (first mentioned in 1229). In 1350, it was destroyed by Rudolf Brun, the mayor of Zürich, and was rebuilt in 1352/54 by Albrecht II, Duke of Austria. Deer inhabit lands surrounding the castle. Since 1870, the castle has been home to the Polish National Museum created by Polish émigrés, including the castle's lessee and restorer, Count Wladyslaw Broel-Plater. A small Capuchin's monastery was established in 1606 at the lakeside Endingerhorn as a Catholic counterpart to the Reformation's centre in the city of Zürich. The monastery buildings belong to the citizens of Rapperswil (Endingen itself belongs to the Einsiedeln Abbey) rather than to the monks who inhabit it, and is still in use. The main churches in town include the Roman Catholic St. John's Church (built in early 13th century), the cemetery chapel (Liebfrauenkapelle) and a small Protestant church. The locational advantage of the place attracted the national Circus Knie who built its headquarters in Rapperswil in 1919. The circus is now also responsible for the Circus Museum and the Knie's Kinderzoo located in Rapperswil which is particularly aimed at children. Rapperswil also hosts the Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil HSR (University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil) and an Economics school for parts of the cantons Zürich and St. Gallen. Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (commonly abbreviated to ZSG) operates passenger vessels on the Lake Zürich (Zürichsee), connecting the surrounding towns between Zürich-Bürkliplatz and the Rapperswil peninsula with its harbour area. Located on Obersee lake shore at the Seedamm isthmus between the Zürichsee and the Obersee lake area, the area was in close vicinity to the prehistoric lake crossings, and neighboured by four Prehistoric pile dwelling settlements: Freienbach–Hurden Rosshorn, Freienbach–Hurden Seefeld, Seegubel and Rapperswil-Jona–Technikum. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). As well as being part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, the settlements are also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as Class A objects of national importance. Rapperswil railway station is a nodal point of the Südostbahn (SOB) and the S-Bahn Zürich on the lines S5, S7, S15, S26 and S40. Its train station is a 36-minute (S5) ride from Zürich Hauptbahnhof and a 55-minute ride to St. Gallen with InterRegio respectively Voralpen Express (Südostbahn). The rail tracks and the infrastructure, excluded the train station's building, have been renewed by June/July 2016.

The Protestant church is located at the lake side and dominates the views of the town from the lake. The church's history dates back to a chapel of the 7th century. The current church was built in 1493. The oldest tavern in Meilen is the Löwen (Lion). The tavern is still in use, but since 1958 owned by the municipality. The main hall is now used for political and cultural events. The inn zur Burg located at Friedberg (or locally known as Burg) was built in 1676. It is an attractive building with many carved ornaments. There are also a number of mansions, including the Seehof, Seehalde and Grüene Hof. The Seehof mansion was built in 1767-1769 and originally home to the successful textile producer Felix Oeri-Lavater. The mansion Seehalde was built when trade in wine was at its best: the 16th century. The Grüene Hof mansion is located in Feldmeilen. It was built between 1682 and 1684. Located on Zürichsee lakeshore, Meilen–Rorenhaab is part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, and the settlement is also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class object. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). There are two railway stations within the municipality. Meilen railway station is served by the S6, S7 and SN7 lines of the Zürich S-Bahn. Herrliberg-Feldmeilen station is served by lines S6 and S16. During the day the S16 line terminates at Herrliberg-Feldmeilen, but in the evening it is extended to Meilen. Meilen is also a significant station for regional bus lines. In the summer there are regular boats along the lake to Zürich and Rapperswil, run by the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft. The Horgen–Meilen car ferry connects Meilen with Horgen on the opposite shore of the lake, and one of that ferry line's ships carries the name Meilen. Notable people: Ulrich Wille (1848 – 1925 in Meilen) the General of the Swiss Army during the First World War Rolf Larcher (born 1934 in Meilen) a Swiss rower, bronze medallist at the 1960 Summer Olympics Werner Hug (born 1952 in Feldmeilen) a Swiss chess player Magdalena Martullo-Blocher (born 1969) a Swiss billionaire businesswoman, politician and CEO of Ems-Chemie. She lives in Feldmeilen The 26 cantons of Switzerland are the member states of the Swiss Confederation. The nucleus of the Swiss Confederacy in the form of the first three confederate allies used to be referred to as the Waldstätte. Two important periods in the development of the Old Swiss Confederacy are summarized by the terms Acht Orte ('Eight Cantons'; from 1353–1481) and Dreizehn Orte ('Thirteen Cantons', from 1513–1798). Each canton of the Old Swiss Confederacy, formerly also Ort ('lieu/locality', from before 1450), or Stand ('estate', from c. 1550), was a fully sovereign state with its own border controls, army, and currency from at least the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) until the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848, with a brief period of centralised government during the Helvetic Republic (1798–1803). The term Kanton has been widely used since the 19th century. The number of cantons was increased to 19 with the Act of Mediation (1803), with the recognition of former subject territories as full cantons. The Federal Treaty of 1815 increased the number to 22 due to the accession of former associates of the Old Swiss Confederacy. The canton of Jura acceded as the 23rd canton with its secession from Bern in 1979. The official number of cantons was increased to 26 in the federal constitution of 1999, which designated former half-cantons as cantons. The areas of the cantons vary from 37 km2 (15 sq. mi.) (canton of Basel-Stadt) to 7,105 km2 (2743 sq. mi.) (canton of the Grisons); the populations (as of 2018) range from 16,000 (canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden) to 1.5 million (canton of Zürich). The term canton, now also used as the English term for administrative subdivisions of other countries, originates in French usage in the late 15th century (recorded in Fribourg in 1467), from a word for "edge, corner", at the time the literal translation of Early Modern High German ort.

The Protestant church is located at the lake side and dominates the views of the town from the lake. The church's history dates back to a chapel of the 7th century. The current church was built in 1493. The oldest tavern in Meilen is the Löwen (Lion). The tavern is still in use, but since 1958 owned by the municipality. The main hall is now used for political and cultural events. The inn zur Burg located at Friedberg (or locally known as Burg) was built in 1676. It is an attractive building with many carved ornaments. There are also a number of mansions, including the Seehof, Seehalde and Grüene Hof. The Seehof mansion was built in 1767-1769 and originally home to the successful textile producer Felix Oeri-Lavater. The mansion Seehalde was built when trade in wine was at its best: the 16th century. The Grüene Hof mansion is located in Feldmeilen. It was built between 1682 and 1684. Located on Zürichsee lakeshore, Meilen–Rorenhaab is part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, and the settlement is also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class object. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft).

The town's main sights are concentrated in the Altstadt of Rapperswil and can be seen while strolling through the medieval alleys. The main sights of Rapperswil are its rose gardens, Rapperswil Castle, the reconstructed wooden bridge to Hurden with its bridge chapel Heilig Hüsli located at Seedamm, the Kapuzinerkloster (Capuchin's monastery), the remains of the Middle Ages fortifications located on Lake Zürich, Lindenhof hill, Herrenberg, Engelplatz, Hauptplatz, Bühlerallee and Fischmarktplatz at Rapperswil harbour. Rapperswil is often referred to as the "town of roses" (Rosenstadt) because of its extensive displays of roses in three designated parks. No less than 15,000 plants of 600 different kinds may be viewed between June and October. There is also a rose garden in the town center, accessible to blind and disabled people. The old town (Altstadt) is dominated by the Schloss Rapperswil located at the peninsula called Endingen, Lindenhof and Herrenberg on Lake Zürich perched atop this rocky hill at the bay of Kempraten. The castle dates back to the early 13th century (first mentioned in 1229). In 1350, it was destroyed by Rudolf Brun, the mayor of Zürich, and was rebuilt in 1352/54 by Albrecht II, Duke of Austria. Deer inhabit lands surrounding the castle. Since 1870, the castle has been home to the Polish National Museum created by Polish émigrés, including the castle's lessee and restorer, Count Wladyslaw Broel-Plater. A small Capuchin's monastery was established in 1606 at the lakeside Endingerhorn as a Catholic counterpart to the Reformation's centre in the city of Zürich. The monastery buildings belong to the citizens of Rapperswil (Endingen itself belongs to the Einsiedeln Abbey) rather than to the monks who inhabit it, and is still in use. The main churches in town include the Roman Catholic St. John's Church (built in early 13th century), the cemetery chapel (Liebfrauenkapelle) and a small Protestant church. The locational advantage of the place attracted the national Circus Knie who built its headquarters in Rapperswil in 1919. The circus is now also responsible for the Circus Museum and the Knie's Kinderzoo located in Rapperswil which is particularly aimed at children. Rapperswil also hosts the Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil HSR (University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil) and an Economics school for parts of the cantons Zürich and St. Gallen. Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (commonly abbreviated to ZSG) operates passenger vessels on the Lake Zürich (Zürichsee), connecting the surrounding towns between Zürich-Bürkliplatz and the Rapperswil peninsula with its harbour area. Located on Obersee lake shore at the Seedamm isthmus between the Zürichsee and the Obersee lake area, the area was in close vicinity to the prehistoric lake crossings, and neighboured by four Prehistoric pile dwelling settlements: Freienbach–Hurden Rosshorn, Freienbach–Hurden Seefeld, Seegubel and Rapperswil-Jona–Technikum. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). As well as being part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, the settlements are also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as Class A objects of national importance. Rapperswil railway station is a nodal point of the Südostbahn (SOB) and the S-Bahn Zürich on the lines S5, S7, S15, S26 and S40. Its train station is a 36-minute (S5) ride from Zürich Hauptbahnhof and a 55-minute ride to St. Gallen with InterRegio respectively Voralpen Express (Südostbahn). The rail tracks and the infrastructure, excluded the train station's building, have been renewed by June/July 2016. Since 2008 the bus service in Rapperswil-Jona has been provided by the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland (VZO).

This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article: Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago. Learning by listening is a great way to: - increases imagination and understanding - improves your listening skills - improves your own spoken accent - learn while on the move - reduce eye strain Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone. You can find other Wikipedia audio articles too at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuKfABj2eGyjH3ntPxp4YeQ In case you don't find one that you were looking for, put a comment. This video uses Google TTS en-US-Standard-D voice. SUMMARY ======= Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps is a series of prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlements in and around the Alps built from around 5000 to 500 B.C. on the edges of lakes, rivers or wetlands. 111 sites, located in Switzerland (56), Italy (19), Germany (18), France (11), Austria (5 sites), and Slovenia (2) were added to UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2011. In Slovenia, this was the first listed cultural world heritage site.Excavations, conducted in only some of the sites, have yielded evidence that provides insight into life in prehistoric times during the Neolithic and Bronze Age in Alpine Europe, and the way communities interacted with their environment. As the nomination stated, the settlements are a unique group of exceptionally well-preserved and culturally rich archaeological sites which constitute one of the most important sources for the study of early agrarian societies in the region.Contrary to popular belief, the houses were not erected over water, but on nearby marshy land. They were set on piles to protect against occasional flooding. Because the lakes have grown in size over time, many of the original piles are now under water, giving modern observers the false impression that they have always been this way.

(Weiterführende Links in der Beschreibung) Blog Kantonsarchäologie: https://ad.zh.ch/ Website Magicmotions Filmproduktionen: https://www.magicmotions.ch Website History Travel Nature: https://www.historytravelnature.com Die Geschichte des Einbaums reicht weit zurück. Der älteste bisher gefundene Exemplar wird auf das 8. Jahrtausend vor Christus datiert. Erfahre mehr in der Kurzdoku - Der Einbaum - Funde und Geschichte. Archäologe Christian Harb und Experimentalarchäologe Markus Binggeli erzählen darin viel Wissenswertes die Geschichte des Einbaums. Produziert von Magic Motions Filmproduktionen in Zusammenarbeit mit der Kantonsarchäologie Zürich. #archäologie #doku #dokumentarfilm #steinzeit #boot #funde #geschichte ----- Bereits vor tausenden von Jahren befuhren die Menschen Flüsse und Seen. Ihr bevorzugtes Gefährt dabei: Der Einbaum.Im Kanton Zürich kennen wir verschiedene Einbäume aus dem Robbenhauser Riet am Pfäffikersee.Die wurden im Zuge des Torfabbaus gefunden. Diese sind daher Altfunde. Die kann man schlecht datieren.Wir haben aber neuere Einbaumfunde aus dem Zürichsee. Beispielsweise aus Männedorf. Dieser datiert aus dem 5. Jahrtausend vor Christus.Dann kennen wir auch Einbäume aus dem Pfäffikersee, beispielsweise Pfäffikon Riet. Der datiert einige Jahrhunderte später.Einbäume sind ein sehr urtümliches Transportmittel. Interessant ist aber, dass sie in der Schweiz bis ins 20. Jahrhundert produziert und verwendet wurden. Beispielsweise im Kanton Zug am Ägerisee, haben Fischer noch in den 1960er-Jahren Einbäume benutzt.Wenn wir in der Zeit zurückgehen, dann finden wir Einbäume im Mittelalter, wir finden sie in römischer Zeit, der Eisenzeit, Bronzezeit, Jungsteinzeit, und es geht noch weiter zurück bis in die Mittelsteinzeit. Also der Zeit, der Jäger und Sammler.Und aus dieser Zeit datiert der älteste Fund den wir kennen. Der älteste Fund eines Einbaums datiert ins 8. Jahrtausend vor Christus. Er stammt aus den Niederlanden, genauer aus Pesse.Es handelt sich um 3 Meter langen Einbaum, aus Kiefer produziert. Viele andere Hölzer waren in dieser Zeit eigentlich noch gar nicht vorhanden.Dieses Alter muss nicht so sehr erstaunen, denn wir haben auch indirekte Belege für Schifffahrt aus dieser Zeit. Genauer gesagt aus dem Mittelmeerraum. Hier haben wir beispielsweise Obsidianfunde auf dem Festland von Griechenland, die ins 9. Jahrtausend vor Christus datieren. Dieser Obisidian ist eine Art vulkanisches Glas. Dieses stammt von Mittelmeerinseln. Das Musste also übers Meer transportiert werden.Und es gibt auch noch weitere Hinweise. Beispielsweise die Kolonisierung der Mittelmeerinseln, wie zum Beispiel Zypern. Dort kommt man nur hin, wenn man 100 Kilometer über das Meer fährt und dies ist schon für das 9. Jahrtausend vor Christus belegt.In der Experimentalarchäologie bedient man sich heute moderner Methoden. Doch wie sah die Herstellung eines Einbaums vor tausenden von Jahren aus?Damals wurden Einbäume natürlich mit anderem Werkzeug gemacht. Beispielsweise Steinbeile oder Bronzebeile, je nach Epoche.Auch die Umgebung war anders. Man hatte keinen befestigten Boden, sondern arbeitete auf dem weichen Waldboden.Wie lange man damals an einem Einbaum gearbeitet hat, ist schwierig zu sagen, da man wenig Erfahrung mit prähistorischem Werkzeug hat. Heute brauchen wir zirka 120 bis 150 Stunden. Wenn man das mit dem Bronzebeil macht, ohne modernes Werkzeug, müsste man die Zeit mindestens verdoppeln, ich denke sogar verdreifachen.Einbäume waren damals ein sehr praktisches Transportmittel. Man konnte aufs Wasser, die offenen Verkehrswege. Übers Land war es wahrscheinlich noch sehr unwegsam.Man konnte Lasten transportieren, man konnte auf Fischfang gehen. Die Herstellung aus einem einzelnen Baum, war wahrscheinlich das, was damals am praktikabelsten war. Man musste nichts zusammenbauen und erhielt ein durchaus brauchbares Wasserfahrzeug.Es gab über die Epochen unterschiedliche Typen von Einbäumen. Man hatte auch, so könnte man sagen, eine modische Entwicklung.Dann gab es Einbäume aus unterschiedlichen Hölzern. Auch das hat ein bisschen variiert mit den Epochen. Je nach Baum konnte man ein grösseres oder kleineres Boot bauen. Was wir hier bauen sind eigentlich eher kleine Einbäume. Es gab durchaus Einbäume, welche doppelt so lang waren, 12 bis 13 Meter, und auch um einiges breiter. Da konnte man durchaus 10 bis 15 Leute reinsetzen.Man benutzte zur Herstellung der Einbäume Beile. Sehr viel anderes kam nicht zum Einsatz. Eventuell noch Feuer, mit dem man das Holz etwas ausbrennen konnte. Es gab Beile, die waren parallel geschäftet und solche die waren quer geschäftet und damit war es möglich, alle anfallenden Arbeiten auszuführen.Je nach Epoche haben natürlich die Werkzeuge gewechselt. In der Steinzeit wurden Steinbeile benutzt und später dann Kupfer- oder Bronzebeile, sobald diese verfügbar waren.

The town's main sights are concentrated in the Altstadt of Rapperswil and can be seen while strolling through the medieval alleys. The main sights of Rapperswil are its rose gardens, Rapperswil Castle, the reconstructed wooden bridge to Hurden with its bridge chapel Heilig Hüsli located at Seedamm, the Kapuzinerkloster (Capuchin's monastery), the remains of the Middle Ages fortifications located on Lake Zürich, Lindenhof hill, Herrenberg, Engelplatz, Hauptplatz, Bühlerallee and Fischmarktplatz at Rapperswil harbour. Rapperswil is often referred to as the "town of roses" (Rosenstadt) because of its extensive displays of roses in three designated parks. No less than 15,000 plants of 600 different kinds may be viewed between June and October. There is also a rose garden in the town center, accessible to blind and disabled people. The old town (Altstadt) is dominated by the Schloss Rapperswil located at the peninsula called Endingen, Lindenhof and Herrenberg on Lake Zürich perched atop this rocky hill at the bay of Kempraten. The castle dates back to the early 13th century (first mentioned in 1229). In 1350, it was destroyed by Rudolf Brun, the mayor of Zürich, and was rebuilt in 1352/54 by Albrecht II, Duke of Austria. Deer inhabit lands surrounding the castle. Since 1870, the castle has been home to the Polish National Museum created by Polish émigrés, including the castle's lessee and restorer, Count Wladyslaw Broel-Plater. A small Capuchin's monastery was established in 1606 at the lakeside Endingerhorn as a Catholic counterpart to the Reformation's centre in the city of Zürich. The monastery buildings belong to the citizens of Rapperswil (Endingen itself belongs to the Einsiedeln Abbey) rather than to the monks who inhabit it, and is still in use. The main churches in town include the Roman Catholic St. John's Church (built in early 13th century), the cemetery chapel (Liebfrauenkapelle) and a small Protestant church. The locational advantage of the place attracted the national Circus Knie who built its headquarters in Rapperswil in 1919. The circus is now also responsible for the Circus Museum and the Knie's Kinderzoo located in Rapperswil which is particularly aimed at children. Rapperswil also hosts the Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil HSR (University of Applied Sciences Rapperswil) and an Economics school for parts of the cantons Zürich and St. Gallen. Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft (commonly abbreviated to ZSG) operates passenger vessels on the Lake Zürich (Zürichsee), connecting the surrounding towns between Zürich-Bürkliplatz and the Rapperswil peninsula with its harbour area. Located on Obersee lake shore at the Seedamm isthmus between the Zürichsee and the Obersee lake area, the area was in close vicinity to the prehistoric lake crossings, and neighboured by four Prehistoric pile dwelling settlements: Freienbach–Hurden Rosshorn, Freienbach–Hurden Seefeld, Seegubel and Rapperswil-Jona–Technikum. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). As well as being part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, the settlements are also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as Class A objects of national importance. Rapperswil railway station is a nodal point of the Südostbahn (SOB) and the S-Bahn Zürich on the lines S5, S7, S15, S26 and S40. Its train station is a 36-minute (S5) ride from Zürich Hauptbahnhof and a 55-minute ride to St. Gallen with InterRegio respectively Voralpen Express (Südostbahn). The rail tracks and the infrastructure, excluded the train station's building, have been renewed by June/July 2016. Since 2008 the bus service in Rapperswil-Jona has been provided by the Verkehrsbetriebe Zürichsee und Oberland (VZO).

The prehistoric timber piles discovered to the west of the Seedamm date back to 1523 BC. The island settlement Technikum is a prehistoric pile-dwelling (or stilt house) settlement which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric Pile dwellings around the Alps.[1][2] The first wooden footbridge led across Lake Zürich, followed by several reconstructions at least until the late 2nd century AD when the Roman Empire built a 6 metres (20 ft) wide wooden bridge. Between 1358 and 1360, Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria, built a 'new' wooden bridge across the lake that was used until 1878. On 6 April 2001, the reconstructed wooden footbridge was opened, being the longest wooden bridge in Switzerland. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow our Instagram account Link https://www.instagram.com/livestory.ch/ https://www.facebook.com/livestory.ch http://livestory.ch/

The Protestant church is located at the lake side and dominates the views of the town from the lake. The church's history dates back to a chapel of the 7th century. The current church was built in 1493. The oldest tavern in Meilen is the Löwen (Lion). The tavern is still in use, but since 1958 owned by the municipality. The main hall is now used for political and cultural events. The inn zur Burg located at Friedberg (or locally known as Burg) was built in 1676. It is an attractive building with many carved ornaments. There are also a number of mansions, including the Seehof, Seehalde and Grüene Hof. The Seehof mansion was built in 1767-1769 and originally home to the successful textile producer Felix Oeri-Lavater. The mansion Seehalde was built when trade in wine was at its best: the 16th century. The Grüene Hof mansion is located in Feldmeilen. It was built between 1682 and 1684. Located on Zürichsee lakeshore, Meilen–Rorenhaab is part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, and the settlement is also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class object. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). There are two railway stations within the municipality. Meilen railway station is served by the S6, S7 and SN7 lines of the Zürich S-Bahn. Herrliberg-Feldmeilen station is served by lines S6 and S16. During the day the S16 line terminates at Herrliberg-Feldmeilen, but in the evening it is extended to Meilen. Meilen is also a significant station for regional bus lines. In the summer there are regular boats along the lake to Zürich and Rapperswil, run by the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft. The Horgen–Meilen car ferry connects Meilen with Horgen on the opposite shore of the lake, and one of that ferry line's ships carries the name Meilen. Notable people: Ulrich Wille (1848 – 1925 in Meilen) the General of the Swiss Army during the First World War Rolf Larcher (born 1934 in Meilen) a Swiss rower, bronze medallist at the 1960 Summer Olympics Werner Hug (born 1952 in Feldmeilen) a Swiss chess player Magdalena Martullo-Blocher (born 1969) a Swiss billionaire businesswoman, politician and CEO of Ems-Chemie. She lives in Feldmeilen The 26 cantons of Switzerland are the member states of the Swiss Confederation. The nucleus of the Swiss Confederacy in the form of the first three confederate allies used to be referred to as the Waldstätte. Two important periods in the development of the Old Swiss Confederacy are summarized by the terms Acht Orte ('Eight Cantons'; from 1353–1481) and Dreizehn Orte ('Thirteen Cantons', from 1513–1798). Each canton of the Old Swiss Confederacy, formerly also Ort ('lieu/locality', from before 1450), or Stand ('estate', from c. 1550), was a fully sovereign state with its own border controls, army, and currency from at least the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) until the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848, with a brief period of centralised government during the Helvetic Republic (1798–1803). The term Kanton has been widely used since the 19th century. The number of cantons was increased to 19 with the Act of Mediation (1803), with the recognition of former subject territories as full cantons. The Federal Treaty of 1815 increased the number to 22 due to the accession of former associates of the Old Swiss Confederacy. The canton of Jura acceded as the 23rd canton with its secession from Bern in 1979. The official number of cantons was increased to 26 in the federal constitution of 1999, which designated former half-cantons as cantons. The areas of the cantons vary from 37 km2 (15 sq. mi.) (canton of Basel-Stadt) to 7,105 km2 (2743 sq. mi.) (canton of the Grisons); the populations (as of 2018) range from 16,000 (canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden) to 1.5 million (canton of Zürich). The term canton, now also used as the English term for administrative subdivisions of other countries, originates in French usage in the late 15th century (recorded in Fribourg in 1467), from a word for "edge, corner", at the time the literal translation of Early Modern High German ort.

The mansion Seehalde was built when trade in wine was at its best: the 16th century. The Grüene Hof mansion is located in Feldmeilen. It was built between 1682 and 1684. Located on Zürichsee lakeshore, Meilen–Rorenhaab is part of the 56 Swiss sites of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, and the settlement is also listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class object. Because the lake has grown in size over time, the original piles are now around 4 metres (13 ft) to 7 metres (23 ft) under the water level of 406 metres (1,332 ft). There are two railway stations within the municipality. Meilen railway station is served by the S6, S7 and SN7 lines of the Zürich S-Bahn. Herrliberg-Feldmeilen station is served by lines S6 and S16. During the day the S16 line terminates at Herrliberg-Feldmeilen, but in the evening it is extended to Meilen. Meilen is also a significant station for regional bus lines. In the summer there are regular boats along the lake to Zürich and Rapperswil, run by the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft. The Horgen–Meilen car ferry connects Meilen with Horgen on the opposite shore of the lake, and one of that ferry line's ships carries the name Meilen. Notable people: Ulrich Wille (1848 – 1925 in Meilen) the General of the Swiss Army during the First World War Rolf Larcher (born 1934 in Meilen) a Swiss rower, bronze medallist at the 1960 Summer Olympics Werner Hug (born 1952 in Feldmeilen) a Swiss chess player Magdalena Martullo-Blocher (born 1969) a Swiss billionaire businesswoman, politician and CEO of Ems-Chemie. She lives in Feldmeilen The 26 cantons of Switzerland are the member states of the Swiss Confederation. The nucleus of the Swiss Confederacy in the form of the first three confederate allies used to be referred to as the Waldstätte. Two important periods in the development of the Old Swiss Confederacy are summarized by the terms Acht Orte ('Eight Cantons'; from 1353–1481) and Dreizehn Orte ('Thirteen Cantons', from 1513–1798). Each canton of the Old Swiss Confederacy, formerly also Ort ('lieu/locality', from before 1450), or Stand ('estate', from c. 1550), was a fully sovereign state with its own border controls, army, and currency from at least the Treaty of Westphalia (1648) until the establishment of the Swiss federal state in 1848, with a brief period of centralised government during the Helvetic Republic (1798–1803). The term Kanton has been widely used since the 19th century. The number of cantons was increased to 19 with the Act of Mediation (1803), with the recognition of former subject territories as full cantons. The Federal Treaty of 1815 increased the number to 22 due to the accession of former associates of the Old Swiss Confederacy. The canton of Jura acceded as the 23rd canton with its secession from Bern in 1979. The official number of cantons was increased to 26 in the federal constitution of 1999, which designated former half-cantons as cantons. The areas of the cantons vary from 37 km2 (15 sq. mi.) (canton of Basel-Stadt) to 7,105 km2 (2743 sq. mi.) (canton of the Grisons); the populations (as of 2018) range from 16,000 (canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden) to 1.5 million (canton of Zürich). The term canton, now also used as the English term for administrative subdivisions of other countries, originates in French usage in the late 15th century (recorded in Fribourg in 1467), from a word for "edge, corner", at the time the literal translation of Early Modern High German ort.

Stilt house

Stilt houses or pile dwellings or palafitte are houses raised on piles over the surface of the soil or a body of water. Stilt houses are built primarily as a protection against flooding, but also serve to keep out vermin. The shady space under the house can be used for work or storage.

Houses where permafrost is present, in the Arctic, are built on stilts to keep permafrost under them from melting. Permafrost can be up to 70% water. While it's frozen, it provides a stable foundation. If heat radiating from the bottom of a home melts the permafrost, however, the home will go out of level, and start sinking into the ground. While other, more elaborate means of keeping the permafrost from melting are available, raising the home off the ground on stilts is one of the most effective ways.

History

In the Neolithic and Bronze Age, stilt-houses settlements were common in the Alpine and Pianura Padana (Terramare) region. Remains have been found at the Ljubljana Marshes in Slovenia and at the Mondsee and Attersee lakes in Upper Austria, for example. Early archaeologists like Ferdinand Keller thought they formed artificial islands, much like the Scottish Crannogs, but today it is clear that the majority of settlements were located on the shores of lakes and were only inundated later on. Reconstructed stilt houses are shown in open-air museums in Unteruhldingen and Zürich (Pfahlbauland). In June 2011, the prehistoric pile dwellings in six Alpine states were designated as the UNESCO World Heritage Site. A single Scandinavian pile dwelling, the Alvastra stilt houses, has been excavated in Sweden.
