Histoire
The Lindenthaler Hyänenhöhle was a cave on what is now the city area of Gera, inhabited during the Eemian interglacial and the Weichselian glacial period. It was discovered in 1874 during quarrying work and was quarried away a short time later. The excavations following the discovery were led by Karl Theodor Liebe. The cave received its name from the municipality of Lindenthal (on whose territory it lay) and from the fact that all the animal bones had been gnawed by cave hyenas.
Bio
In the cave and on the forecourt, remains of wild horses, cave hyenas, woolly rhinoceroses, but also of cave bears, cave lions, mammoth, aurochs and reindeer were found.
