Die Architektur der Schatzhäuser von Olympia

The treasure houses of the Archaic and Early Classical periods in Olympia have been the subject of research since June 2018. The new study is based on the estate of the building researcher Klaus Herrmann, who died in 2015, with the aim of bringing all the information on the buildings to a final publication. To this end, a new overall plan of the Treasury Terrace and new building photographs of series of previously unrecorded architectural elements as well as computer drawings of the reconstruction of the Treasure Houses were developed. Another interesting question is the provenance of many of these buildings from the home towns of the western Greek colonies in Lower Italy, Sicily and Albania.
