About Gundeldingen
What are the main landmarks in Gundeldingen?
Three built names carry the district. Schlösschen Gundeldingen, the Zwinglihaus Basel and the church of the Holy Ghost are the standing landmarks on the record, and everything else entered for Gundeldingen sits underground rather than above it. The rest is archaeology.
Flint tools, slab graves and Roman traces fill out the list.
What is the history of Gundeldingen?
Gundeldingen's record begins in prehistory. A hunting station of the Middle Palaeolithic, a site of prehistoric flint tools, cremation graves of the Late Bronze Age and late Roman settlement traces are all entered for Gundeldingen, which makes the district one long stratigraphy rather than a single founding. The early medieval slab graves follow.
Schlösschen Gundeldingen comes much later.
Where is Gundeldingen?
Gundeldingen covers a compact stretch of Basel, with Vorstädte the nearest district on the roll and Grossbasel and Bachletten beyond it.
