Security solution for archaeological sensation

BauWatch protects excavation site near Riedlingen.

An archaeological sensation has been discovered in the Danube plain near Riedlingen: a completely preserved burial chamber made of solid oak wood that is around 2600 years old. The burial chamber lies in the centre of a mighty princely burial mound.

This burial mound, with a diameter of 65 metres and an original height of over six metres, is one of the largest early Celtic sites in south-west Germany and offers scientists valuable insights into the culture and craftsmanship of the Celts. BauWatch protects the excavation site with video surveillance.

Security challenge: a unique find in a remote location.

In order to protect the burial chamber during the excavation break and to prevent unauthorised access to the site, a solution had to be found that would also work reliably at this remote location. As there were no power connections and the excavation site is difficult to access, our self-sufficient security solutions were chosen.

Efficient protection with BauWatch: energy self-sufficient video surveillance around the clock.

We have been responsible for video surveillance of the excavation site since the summer and rely on our mobile security solutions. These energy self-sufficient systems work independently of external power sources and have been specially developed for use in remote areas. Thanks to solar energy, the surveillance units are always ready for use and weatherproof. Our emergency call and service control centre (NSL), which works with artificial intelligence, ensures fast and effective monitoring. In this way, the site remains completely in view - without the need for a complex infrastructure and with manageable and transparent costs.

Securing archaeological projects for the future.

Our mobile video surveillance systems not only offer maximum security, but also represent a cost-effective and flexible solution that fulfils the special requirements of sensitive archaeological sites. With BauWatch, the cultural heritage of this early Celtic burial chamber remains protected and archaeologists can carry out their work undisturbed. In this way, we safeguard the valuable heritage of the Celts and help to ensure that this extraordinary find is preserved for posterity.
