| Description |
English: Grave goods from Grave 13 at Hauskirchen, the "Princess' Grave"
The small Lombard grave field of Hauskirchen, already robbed during the Migration Era, comprised at least 20 burials. The complex of goods of Grave 13, the so-called "Princess' Grave", are counted among the most extraordinary finds of the European Migration Era. It contained the strongly plundered burial of a 25- to 30-year-old woman. Her body must have still been connected by sinews at the time of the robbery, since it was almost completely dragged into the robbery shaft. Only the skull was missing; it likely rolled away while the body was been dragged from its original position and then been shoveled out of the shaft. During this apparently hasty plundering, the grave robbers did not succeed in getting all the burial goods. In addition to a bead-edged basin from a Rhineland workshop, the harness trappings of two horses were found along with ring snaffles and rein-leading ring. The last allows no doubt that this was these were the trappings for draft horses of a wagon - noteworthy because only very few burials of women with an accompanying wagon are know from the early Middle Ages. 1. Iron weaving sword with a tip shaped in a thorn and a simple hilt tang with a somewhat broadened end; a few remnants of the wooden handle are preserved.
Deutsch: Beigaben aus Grab 13 von Hauskirchen, dem "Fürstinnengrab"
Das kleine, bereits während der Völkerwanderungszeit beraubte langobardische Gräberfeld von Hauskirchen bestand aus mindestens 20 Körperbestattungen. Die Ausstattung von Grab 13, das sogenannte "Fürstinnengrab", zählt zu den äußergewöhnlichsten Fundkomplexen der Völkerwanderungszeit in Europa. Es barg die stark beraubte Bestattung einer 25- bis 30-jährigen Frau. Ihr Körper muss sich bei der Beraubung noch im Sehnenverband befunden haben, da er fast vollständig in den Raubschacht hinein gezerrt worden war. Nur der Schädel fehlte; er dürfte während des Wegzerrens der Leiche aus ihrer ursprünglichen Lage abgerollt und aus dem Schacht geschaufelt worden sein. Bei dieser vermutlich hastigen Plünderung gelang es den Grabräubern nicht, aller Beigaben der Bestattung habhaft zu werden. Neben einem Perlrandbecken aus einer rheinischen Werkstatt fanden sich noch die Schirrungen zweier Pferde sowie Ringtrensen und ein Zügelführungsring. Letzterer lässt keinen Zweifel daran, dass es sich um die Ausstattung für Zugpferde eines Wagens handeln muss - was deshalb interessant ist, da nur sehr wenige Bestattungen von Frauen mit beigegebenen Wagen aus dem Frühmittelalter bekannt sind. 1. Eisernes Webschwert mit dornförmig ausgebildeter Spitze und einfacher Griffangel mit etwas verbreitertem Ende, spärliche Reste des Holzgriffes erhalten.
