Long/Lat:
51.1661412, 10.0059971
Notes: It was found in 2025 in the area of a newly discovered deserted village (settlement). The name of the deserted village is “Vornde” in the district of Eschwege in the Werra-Meißner district in Hesse, Germany.
According to records, the deserted village dates from relatively late, from 1471 to 1787. However, based on the ceramic finds, the settlement dates back to the 12th/13th century.
According to Dr. Römer, the Bellarmine fragment was produced in Siegburg between 1570 and 1580. It therefore fits very well into the modern settlement phase of the deserted village.
