Over an area of more than 30,000 square meters, the archaeologists reconstructed a medieval settlement during a three-year excavation, which raised many unanswered questions: What was the significance of the twelve well-preserved wells distributed fairly evenly across the entire site? What is the story behind the numerous horse bones and spurs that were recovered?

Researchers are now certain that the settlement developed from a small hamlet to a manor house to a medieval relay station. Here the couriers could exchange their tired horses for fresh ones, which enabled them to cover long distances in a very short time. As district archaeologist Dr. Michael Geschwinde points out, this excavation finding is unique in Germany.

Shortly after the end of the excavations, the scientists were able to present the first research results. At that time, as part of the "archaeological information boards" project of its "Heimatpflege" working group, the Braunschweigische Landschaft provided funding for an information board that provided information about the initial findings at the site. After the excavations were completed, the site was completely built over. The sign is located at the Dürerring elementary school.

Based on the latest findings, the plaque has now been renewed. The Braunschweigische Landschaft has covered the costs. The revised information board was presented in the presence of Harald Schraepler (spokesman for the Braunschweigische Landschaft's working group for the preservation of local history) and Dr. Michael Geschwinde (Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments).
