About Klaus Grote
Born 1947. Klaus Grote is a German anthropologist, archaeologist and prehistorian.
Klaus Grote (born 12 September 1947) is a German archaeologist and was director of the archaeological section of the Landkreis Göttingen until his retirement in 2012.
Grote studied archaeology [pre- and proto-history] at Göttingen University, writing his master's thesis on the Mesolithic in the southern Lower Saxony hill country. His doctorate from Hamburg University on prehistoric settlement usage of the abris in the Buntsandsteingebiet near Göttingen was completed in 1994.
He worked at the Niedersächsischen Institut für Denkmalpflege (Archäologie) in Hannover from 1977 to 1979. Since 1979 he has been the archaeologist for Göttingen county [Landkreis].
In 1997 Grote was given the sponsorship award of the Dr. Helmut und Hannelore Greve Stiftung für Wissenschaften und Kultur.
In 1998 Grote surprised the German archaeological community by demonstrating the presence of a Roman camp in Hedemünden, farther north-east than any previously known Roman presence. Other significant work, all in southern Lower Saxony, has been the extensive surveying and excavations around Seeburger See, including a motte-and-bailey and a refuge fort in Bernshausen, and Medieval abandoned villages.
