137 Hamburg-Veddel
Evidence of warlike times are this chain mail and the iron lance tip from the Hansa and Indiahafen on the Veddel. The chain mail is more than 600 years old and served a soldier as an arrow-proof waistcoat. The lance shows slash marks, so it was actually fought with.

Middle Ages: The beginning of the Middle Ages is generally equated with the end of the migration of peoples in Europe, which came to a halt at about the end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th century AD, and the concomitant collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The Middle Ages stood between antiquity and modern times and are characterised by the confluence of Christian and ancient as well as Celtic, Germanic and Slavic developments. With the Renaissance and the Reformation, the modern era began at the latest at the beginning of the 16th century.
