In the North West Radio Bremen broadcast on 18 January 2007 distanced himself the head of the archaeological department Varus battle in the Osnabrück region gGmbH "with clear terms of the previously pursued hypothesis of the Varus battle in Kalkriese: it is is rust no longer looking for evidence of the Varus battle, but with her husband them from developing a new branch of science "battle field research" to meet international standards. This
Utterance in a live broadcast is particularly noteworthy because Wilbers-Rost was a foster child of the "Varus-in-Kalkriese" inventor Schlüter from the beginning the most zealous advocate of varus slogan, now on all road signs and letterheads in Kalkriese Area is admired. Their further temporary three-year appointment to 2010 will depend on the goodwill of the nonprofit "Varusschlacht GmbH - Museum and Park" and its Managing Director from Rottmann.
Dr. Schlueter is the first scientific director long retired and enjoys his retirement after for his Varusschlacht fixation nor the title of professor "Taken" as an honorary professor at the University of Osnabrück had.
Whence now the sudden change of mind, the fall is also the industrious Kalkriese-author Dr. Joachim Harnecker? What breaks the previous closed Zitierkartell Kalkriese that by daring scientific interpretations of finds and a lot of money so far held together so tightly and place in a scientific organization in the "Varus-Gesellschaft e. V. in the Osnabrück region" against the better scientific knowledge and any criticism of allies? (By the way go "Varus GmbH" and "varus eV" on the ticket of the profit and under the pretext of scientific Work tax free.)
now suffers from the former owner of the site of "Scientific Charge of the Varus Battle Kalkriese GmbH" and also "2 Chairman of the Varus Battle Association Kalkriese ", Prof. Dr. Rainer Wiegand on his return to scientific work at the Department Universiät Osnabrück increasingly difficult under the conflict between commerce and research. He announced as a split personality at the same time a scientific article: "I in Kalkriese Legion" (in: Roman presence and domination in Germania et seq of the Augustan period, Göttingen 2007, p. 89) and published in the varus-Courier, the Journal of Advertising his varus Association on p. 1-3 a contribution that the club members and sponsors, against better knowledge of the "Cohort I in Kalkriese" reports. Because he is sure that not read the conveyor in the Osnabrück region to 3, and he cheered them there, the associated surprising and syntactically crippled set at: "...; there but probably the name of a legion, not a cohort (sic! ) was used. Was it a Freudian slip tense nervousness?
provides Obviously before the reported varus-in-Kalkriese fan for his scientific reputation, as he must, given the known discoveries and the soon to be discovered in Kalkriese Fund interpretations to his Reputation as a university professor fear that the money the varus friends like he has taken now is to get rid of these pesky appendix for the scientific career. Wiegand tries to repair the damage he has caused sustained over many years. For he was and is the lead agency responsible for all Legion IDs that have been found, it is the I for "Legio I", it is the P for "Legio Prima", 1 as identifiers Cohorts and 1 Centuries interpreted.
For if Varus in 9 AD is set in Kalkriese, then one expects the identities of his three legions XVII, XVIII (XIIX) and XIX, but certainly not the Legion I - Germanica (Augusta) - which lay far away in 9 AD, Mainz, and only under Germanicus and Caecina about 14 to 16 AD, as far north intervened in the Bellum Germanicum. After
in 1993 was the first striking Fund Interpretation: From a legible hallmark M. Aius I Fabrici "invented together with Georgia Wiegels Franzius:" possession of a legionary Marcus Aius who serves in the first cohort in the first hundred, led by Fabricius. But this is still a daring translation in order to divert attention that here I clear the Legion was meant, for among cohorts names is regularly found, the addition or Coh Cohors, missing additions point to the Legion. Since Wiegels
knew that even the P stands as an identifier for the First Legion, he came into this sin first scientific case for more than ten years in the predicament, all I found and P have to make first cohorts. This led to a curious mapping with the startling conclusion that the entire battlefield Kalkriese only a first cohort (cohort I, or more) was on the way (s), seemingly detached from her / Legion n / s, because despite 15 years of excavations not a single long-awaited identification of the 17th, 18th and 19 Legion appeared.
What Kalkrieser science Zitierkartell monopoly and the beginning of the first excavations as permissible corriger la fortune, looked safe in the knowledge that loszueisen huge funding and may soon find the best legions - as a precaution have been fitted in all road signs with the good news - that was the researcher Wiegels more sinister than just P and I appeared. Meanwhile he has given the scientific management and now he writes of the First Legion Kalkriese.
This is the scientific debate over Varus clearly decided in Kalkriese. In the varus-sheet no. 8, 12 Year, December 2006, Wiegand be again the "Cohors I alone in fighting the Germans in Kalkriese" take up, obviously as a last rearguard action of the Osnabrück-Land-Wiegels lobbyists. Maybe it still reaches a call to a chair away from his previous place of work.
How independent but is Dr. Gunther Moose, the following "scientific managers" of the Varus Battle Kalkriese also prominent association lobbyist and also beneficiaries of the foundation of the lectureship, Dr. hc Hartwig Piepenbrock, supporter and former first Chairman of the varus company, service company man in the Osnabrück region, which in return received an honorary doctorate from the University of Osnabrueck? The wonderful openness praises Wiegand, 2nd Chairman, 1 Chairman of the varus society with the words: "Thanks ... your connections to Osnabrück business world ... it has managed to develop the varus society an indispensable part of the financing of a peripheral academic life (sic)". On 8 May 2006, Piepenbrock back, taking with the "earned" Dr. title.
precaution wrote Moos his Habilitation at the Foundation Lectureship, which were designed for him and he was able to get to all the scientific procedures and after many disputes with the help of Mr. Wiegand, non-varus in Kalkriese, although actually funded it fully. What ingratitude! The scientific work of the lecturers Moose is concerned rather with the secure area instead of the Romans in the south with the dangerous quagmire of the Varus battle in the North: Moose is also in the breakaway movement. In the Lower Saxony state parliament, he held on 15 May 2006 speech in order to attract more state funds, which is full of vagueness of the Varus battle in Kalkriese. He also has to master, like his predecessor Wiegels the balancing act between honest science and advocacy, between career and political interests. Above all, he needs time for the end of the 10th Foundation, a university professor lecturer.
And he cheered his indefatigable club members "in the small print" on page 28 of the varus leaflet the message in which he is convinced that no one reads them and who reads them, she does not understand: "In the best case, the investigation of the finds additional arguments for the chronology of the discovery site in the Kalkrieser - (sic!) Lower Valley Wedder deliver "- but not 9 AD?
It will not be so ungrateful, not even against the savings banks, the district, the city of Osnabrueck and against Mr. Grossman, the owner of the steel group, which houses the society in varus Georgsmarienhütte.
Also in Kalkrieser "rust-family monument" There are only literature Kalkriese cartel - all critical Of scientific publications have fallen victim to censorship and are not offered for sale at the bookshop. In his speech in the Chamber of Diet praised Moosbauer the achievements of the new battlefield archeology of Dr. Achim rust from Belm, husband of the excavation director Dr. Susanne Wilbers-Rost: Kalkriese as Lower Saxony medium-sized eligible family business - the best conditions for methodologically clean scientific work. Prepare
While scientists now their withdrawals, the now full-time manager of the cartel Kalkriese varus Kalkriese-ghost market continued aggressive. As he is employed is, the lawyer Dr. Joseph Rottmann, who has never worked historically and scientifically, but not ashamed to put in Kalkriese critics of that very question, as a former local politician and municipal service workers for the District Administrator of Osnabrück, fellow party Manfred Hugo, the flag of the Varus battle in the Osnabrück region stand.
Accordingly, his statements are not qualified, the critics would probably not even expect that Varus had mercifully left his business card; actually Germanicus left his business card, which is just as much at all possible, withheld from the public. We see that the nerve Marketing Officer "2000 Years Varus Battle" made sensitive. Mr. Rottmann with any case before a prayer wheel, that science is taking place there, flowing with the most resources! The anniversary will take place in any case in Kalkriese - it would cost to other public and tax-exempt donations, what the cost. The non-scientist it does not matter if it is the ethics of science on the track.
Only when the media, which have brought about this situation, the Journal of Commerce since 1990 by Werner Kraeling and the world by Felix Kellerhoff ahead, and the companies that fund these scientific minds trip tax deductible (savings banks, Setting Grossman Group MBN GM-hut Egerland logistics and Piepenbrock services group) and the public authorities (state of Lower Saxony, VW Foundation, Osnabrück, Osnabrück, DFG, Germany and EU), payments can this put an end be prepared. It would also need the continued misuse of the taxpayers will end in that the profit of the Savings Bank Foundation, the Association of gGmbH and varus Kalkriese be revoked as surreptitiously. After all, only under the false pretext of scientific work that such person had been entered in the register and given the non-profit status. Tourism promotion is a business purpose not mentioned, not even regional development.
Since the mouth plate of a scabbard made of bronze, found number 10 962, from Oberesch Kalkriese clearly legible and unmistakable the Ritz inscription: LP with = Legio Prima (R. Wiegand: For each category of time is not uncommon, the letter P for "fine" instead of Paragraph "I" ... to designate the First legion Germanica ..., not 1 cohort), in Kalkriese nothing as it was for two decades.
The scientific question: "Varus in Kalkriese" is clearly answered with - of all of the scientists of Kalkriese cartel itself, "No!" who would have even expected. However, it would be asking too much to expect a public confession of the original error. The corrections mind of her own and disappear in the small print in magazines, which does not read the general public.
But the commercial interests of the economically underdeveloped region Brampton and the salaries of varus disciples Moos, Wilbers & Rottmann rust and need to be served. Since the lips scream so loud: "treason"
After the scientific ghost ride abruptly ended in the ditch, the commercial ghost train keeps on their laps: The nightmare is not over.
Yours sincerely, Prof. Dr. Siegfried G. Schoppe
