The European area that today constitutes Germany is in an era which will retrospectively be referred to as the “Dark Ages”. Here lives I a late Germanic population on farming in a nearly unlettered culture in small self-sustained settlements amidst dense forests. The civilisation which became extinct also west of the river Rhine after the fall of the Roman Empire was only upheld by a few isolated spots. Lorsch Abbey near the legendary city of Worms is one of them. Today, the remains of the Benedictine abbey lie in the south of Hessen within the boundaries of the city of Lorsch. In 1991 the relics of the abbey were nominated World Cultural Heritage. And it became the first Hessian Cultural Heritage site at all. The Abbey’s symbol is the ancient gatehouse or King’s hall whose exact function could not be unveiled to this day. Nevertheless, it represents one of the oldest and at the same time most significant historical German monuments from the pre-Romanesque period. Serving as a symbol of Carolingian architecture and cloister culture in Europe it was once part of a big and powerful cloister complex. It is one of the very rare architectural monuments from Carolingian times which has preserved its original appearance over the centuries and reminds of the former significance of the once mighty cloister complex. Portal to the Early Middle Ages: The gatehouse or King’s hall from the pre-Romanesque period. Its function remains unclear to this day. Intellectual centre of power: Reconstruction of Lorsch Abbey. 8 WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE 9 “This abbey used to have a really old library which was unique in Germany. But most of the old books have been removed on the quiet.” Sebastian Münster, Ingelheim (1488 – 1552) Lorsch Abbey was founded around the year 764 by the Frankish Count Cancor and his mother Williswinda under the reign of King Pippin the Short (751 – 768 AD). It was already in 772 when the Abbey became the property of the King who granted it numerous privileges. After the death of King Ludwig the German (876) it reached its height when it became the burial place of the East Frankish (German) kings. King Ludwig III had a tomb church built to bury his father. Later, he himself and his son Hugo as well as Kunigunde, spouse of King Konrad I, here found their resting place. The prosperous Abbey was heavily devastated by a fire in 1090, but again reconstructed. In 1232 Lorsch was incorporated in the Archbishopric of Mainz and lost most of its privileges. After the Benedictines followed the Early belief: Relics of the Romanesque church remain from the once mighty cloister.

Bells in Roman Britain By HELLA ECKARDT and SANDIE WILLIAMS ABSTRACT Bells are recorded in many published excavation reports from Roman sites, but there has been no previous study of the British material. This paper explores the significance of bells in the Roman world from both a ritual and functional perspective. We create a first typology of Romano-British bells, provide an understanding of their chronology and examine any spatial and social differences in their use. Special attention is paid to bells from funerary or ritual contexts in order to explore the symbolic significance of these small objects. Bells from other parts of the Roman world are considered to provide comparisons with those from Roman Britain.
