Concealed Leather and Fur Finds from Kempten/Allgäu (Germany)

In the centre of the former Reichsstadt Kempten (Allgäu) the so-called 'Mühlberg-Ensemble' is located. This group of three citizen's houses (Mühlberg No. 8, 10 and 12) was built between 1289 and 1354.

During reconstruction works the Stadtarchäologie screened ceiling fillings. It was very surprising to recognise, that in between the ceilings older floor layers and plenty of everyday objects from the late medieval period up to about 1920 were enclosed.
