About This Item

The Golden Horns. Close to the German border, two horns made of gold were found in a field at Gallehus. The first horn was found in year 1639 and the second horn in 1734. The horns were made around year 450. In 1802 the horns were stolen by a poor goldsmith named Niels Heidenreich. He melted them in his kitchen and used the gold for making jewelery under a false name. The goldsmith was caught and put to prison for 38 years. He died 4 years after getting out. Using old drawings it was possible to reconstruct copies of the horns. These copies have been on display at the National Museum in Copenhagen for many years, true national treasures of Denmark. Incredibly, the copies were stolen in 2007 while on loan to another Danish museum, but fortunately they were soon recovered by the Police.

    Denna traveller sågs tyvärr inte i cachen GIN62 005 - Videolunden när sunman52 gjorde besök 07/24/2013: Som vanligt vanligt så står där att där skall vara en TB i cachen, men det blir allt vanligare att där inte finns någon, och så var fallet här också, folk måste lära sig att logga ut TB när det taget den.
