Ehringsdorf
Ehringsdorf
a village near Weimar, in the German Democratic Republic, near which, on the left bank of the Ilm River, between 1908 and 1925 fragments of the skulls and other bones of prehistoric man were discovered in the lower strata of thick travertine deposits, along with implements of the late Acheulean and early Mousterian cultures. Anthropologically, the inhabitants of Ehringsdorf were Paleanthropic but also exhibited certain similarities to modern man. They lived during the Riss-Würm interglacial, approximately 100,000 years ago.
