History
The human remains discovered in the Blätterhöhle from the late Paleolithic, the early and late Mesolithic and the Neolithic are of great importance for archaeological research. In the summer of 2010, funding for a research project by the German Research Foundation to study this cave was approved; the project is supervised at the University of Cologne. Since 2014, the investigations have been carried out under the umbrella of a research association comprising several universities, the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the city of Hagen.
