50 Hoard of Coins from Luhdorf
The coin hoard had been buried in a stoneware jar on a farm during wartime. The 159 silver coins were minted within twenty years between 1365 and 1379. Minting places are Hamburg, Kiel, Lüneburg and Lübeck, but above all Rostock, Stralsund and Wismar. Some coins come from Sweden. All in all, the Luhdorf find is an unusually uniform treasure which, however, did not represent great wealth in its time.

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.
