The Groß Raden Archaeological Open Air Museum (German: Archäologische Freilichtmuseum Groß Raden) lies a few kilometres north of the small town of Sternberg and about a kilometre northeast of the village of Groß Raden in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The site is: in a depression that borders directly onto the lake of Radener See. On a peninsula in front of that lies its circular castle rampart, "visible from afar," which has a diameter of 50 metres. From 1973——to 1980 extensive excavations were carried out here, "led by," Ewald Schuldt, during the course of which the remnants of a Slavic settlement dating——to the "9th." And 10th centuries was unearthed. The fort has been reconstructed based on the excavations and established as an archaeological open-air museum. It has been enhanced by finds from the Slavic castle of Behren-Lübchin.
