SUMMARY:Dr. Markus Kranner\, Tatort Franken: The stone grave of the giant amphibians
DESCRIPTION:Markus Kranner\, paleontologist at the Geological Service of the State Office for the Environment\, introduces us to a find of the century. 10 skull fossils from the Triassic period were found in a quarry in Rauhenebrach: A mass grave of giant amphibians. “A 70-centimeter-long lower jaw protruded from the rock in front of us\, peppered with sharp teeth like those of modern crocodiles. We were able to identify numerous other bone remains in the surrounding rocks\,” says the employee about the discovery. Find out more about this exciting criminal case from prehistoric times!  \nHow can I take part? Either on site: LRA Bamberg\, former post office tower\, entrance A\, 1st floor (N 100) or connected from the meeting room of the Orangerie Ebrach   \nor online – from the comfort of your sofa at home – via webex (participation possible via browser or app) \nMeeting link: \nhttps://landratsamt-bamberg.webex.com/landratsamt-bamberg/j.php?MTID=me3750e76207a9d10c7031f77b4de2ea1 \nMeeting identification number: 2786 387 2931 \nPassword: CMvugZJv936 \nOur very own Ebrachsaurus aka Frankenzilla aka Cyclotosaurus Ebrachensis – a giant carnivorous amphibian from the Triassic period up to 4.5 m long – is really impressive. It’s a good thing that you can only encounter it as a fossil;-)  \nIf you want to know more and marvel at the fossils in the original: There is a very interesting exhibition in Hof until May 29th: https://www.lfu.bayern.de/veranstaltungen/termin_detail.htm?id=747  \nThe picture of the Fankenzilla was taken during the naming competition.

SUMMARY:Course: Construction and reconstruction of a dry stone wall
DESCRIPTION:Stone by stone – Workshop: Construction and reconstruction of a dry stone wall \nDry stone walls have been a defining element of our cultural landscape for centuries. Especially on steep slopes where vines are grown. They are not only functional\, but also a piece of living history. The Maulbronn monastery vineyard is an outstanding example of these walls built from reed sandstone. It was partly laid out in the Middle Ages and is now used as a vineyard again to the west.     \nWhat makes dry stone walls so special?\n✓ Pure craftsmanship – with traditional know-how\n✓ Naturally built – with stones from the region\n✓ Durable and stable – as they are also frost-resistant\n✓ Slope stabilization – they keep the humus in the terraces\n✓ Heat storage – during the day they store sun\, at night they give off heat\n✓ Increased biodiversity – ecologically valuable habitat for plants and animals\n✓ Local recreational value – landscape experience and unique views during walks \nBut nature leaves its mark: dry stone walls are exposed to the elements and need to be regularly maintained or rebuilt in damaged areas. \nExperience the art of dry stone walling up close \nIn our workshop\, participants learn the art of dry stone wall building: from the basics of stone working to expert instruction on how to build and reconstruct a vineyard dry stone wall. \nMore detailed information on the program\, the venues and the participation fee can be found at the following link: \nDrywalls_Flyer.indd
