Description

Beginning in the first half of the 6th century, Franconian Merovingians from France settled in Schwetzingen. Excavations in the years from 1777 to the late 1980s in the area between Lindenweg and Maschinenweg, north of the palace gardens, have revealed some 70 graves from the 6th and 7th centuries.
