A look at environmental history: human influence and climate

As part of a special tour in the Archaeological State Museum, the interplay of natural climate changes and human action in the environment is examined. This event offers a valuable opportunity to understand the effects of agriculture and cattle breeding on our landscapes.

The role of agriculture

Agriculture had a significant influence on the environment in early days. Agriculture and cattle breeding led to the development of open landscapes. This change illustrates how human activities shaped nature sustainably. The needs of the people at that time after agricultural areas meant that large forest areas were cleared, which led to the decimation of the forest stocks in many regions.

water management in the Middle Ages

Another relevant aspect are the water -powered mills and artificially created waterways that have been reorganizing the landscapes since the Middle Ages. These technical innovations show how people use natural resources to their advantage and at the same time change the environment.

meaning for today's time

The understanding of human influence on the environment is particularly important because it teaches us how our actions can still have an impact on nature today. With a view to current challenges such as climate change, it is crucial to learn from history. The special leadership not only offers an insight into the past, but also stimulates the discussion about future sustainability strategies.

This event in the Archaeological State Museum not only represents the history of humanity, but also asks us to actively reflect on our responsibility for the environment. It promotes awareness of the need to live in harmony with nature and make sustainable decisions.
