Roter Baron Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Externsteine Been there this summer (it's not that far from where I live). Looks great, has a very Teutonic/ Celtic feeling to it, but the pagan aspect is more or less make-believe. As far as I know it has not been a religious site of any importance. During the Middle ages they added some Christian ornaments to the stones. But all in all a worthwhile place to visit and not far from the Hermannsdenkmal - Herman's Memorial. It commemorates the victory of the Teutonic chieftain Arminius (later called Hermann) over the legions led by Varus in the Battle of the Teutoburger Forest in 7 AD that ended with the total anilihation of the Roman troops and put an end to any Roman aspirations to conquer more of Germany than the areas west of the Rhine and south of the Mosel river.

Wulf Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Re: Externsteine Tomorrow i could post some more pics from the Externsteine. So you can get a better impression of the nature around and the stones itself. I just have to find the CD from the trip and the password to my webspace *gg* Wulfi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
