Houses in which our ancestors lived at the time of Christ, and 2,000 years before then, are shown restored in full size and original condition at a new open-air museum in the north German city of Luebeck.
They may be considered ancestral homes of Englishmen as well as of Continental Germanic-speaking peoples, for the tribes that colonized Britain and gave rise to what we call the Anglo-Saxon culture started from this part of the European mainland.
