The Archaeological-Ecological Centre Albersdorf is part of Work Package 4 of the OpenArch project. It focuses on dialogue with skills through seminars and practical demonstrations on topics like bronze casting, woodworking, food preparation, and stoneworking. The center is located in the region of Albersdorf in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, near megalithic tombs from the Neolithic Age. It operates an open-air Stone Age village reconstruction and seeks to introduce traditional land use and landscape development practices through its work.
