Landscape archaeologist Klaus Leidorf has been taking photographs from the air for over 30 years. When he flies over the country in his small plane, he searches for historical traces in the ground with a practised eye. In this way he has already documented many thousands of archaeological sites or discovered them in the first place. From the perspective of a walker, it would be impossible to recognise the vegetation features that identify the remains of historical settlement forms or buildings. However, foundations, ditches, old watercourses, old roads, ramparts are visible from the air.Since the 1980s, these aerial photographs have been professionally analysed. Increasing land consumption has made it necessary to take a closer look at the landscape - meadows and fields cannot be multiplied at will.
