Germanic peoples around 400 AD.
The migration of peoples reaches its greatest intensity during the period from the 4th to the 6th century. Triggered by migratory movements of the Huns, who suddenly leave their settlement areas in the steppes northeast of the Black Sea, the Germanic peoples start to move and are forcibly pushed across the borders of the already rotten Roman Empire. The Romans settled some tribes in endangered areas, partly as confederates, and were thus able to delay the fall of the empire somewhat.
During the three centuries, the Visigoths, for example, left their settlement area on the Danube and established a large empire in southern France and Spain; the Angles and Saxons conquered England, which had been vacated by the Romans at the beginning of the 5th century, from what is now northern Germany. The Vandals set out from their places in what is now Poland, cross the Rhine in 406 and reach as far as North Africa.
The Burgundians founded an empire on the Rhine in 413 with Worms as their capital. The Huns, the trigger of the movement, finally appear under King Attila himself in what is now France, where they are defeated by the allied Romans and Goths on the Catalaunian Fields in 451. These events find expression in the Nibelungenlied.
The Ostrogoths conquer Italy around 490 under Theoderic and found an empire with Ravenna as its capital on the ruins of the Western Roman Empire. However, this Gothic empire was later conquered by Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire.
Finally, the Franks founded a great empire starting from the Rhine, which later inherited the Roman Empire.
Our series shows a Germanic migration with mounted scouts, warriors, women, young men, cattle, dogs; with ox and horse carts as well as two large covered wagons, each harnessed to four oxen.
