Description
Vogelherd Cave
The
Vogelherd Cave
(
German
:
'
Vogelherdhöhle'
, or simply
Vogelherd
) is located in the eastern
Swabian Jura
, south-western
Germany
. This
limestone
karst
cave came to scientific and public attention after the 1931 discovery of the
Upper Palaeolithic
Vogelherd figurines
, attributed to paleo-humans of the
Aurignacian
culture. These miniature sculptures made of
mammoth
ivory
rank among the oldest uncontested works of art of mankind. In 2017 the site became part of the
UNESCO
World Heritage Site
"
Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura
".
