Martin Straßburger

Chief Operating Officer (Germany)

About

Martin Straßburger has been active in archaeology since 1991. After completing his community service in lignite archaeology at the Rhineland Office for Monument Preservation, he studied prehistory and early history, medieval archaeology, Christian archaeology and Byzantine art history, and geology in Bonn, Cologne, Freiburg im Breisgau, and Munich. He received his doctorate from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2014. His excavation experience extends to monasteries, churches, rural settlements from various periods, and castles. He eventually specialised in mining archaeology. In addition to providing specialist archaeological support, he has also participated in research projects at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. In collaboration with the Ecomuseo Argentario in Civezzano, he conducted mining archaeological surveys on the Monte Calisio plateau near Trento and participated in research into pre-colonial mining in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. From 2012 to 2015, he worked at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation in Munich as a research assistant in the field of old mining in Bavaria. From 2015 onwards, he ran a consultancy for mining archaeology, which, in addition to mining, smelting, and metal working, also dealt with souterrains and rock cellars throughout Bavaria. As part of his activities, he advised on mining archaeological issues related to the route of the Schwandorf-Forchheim Loopline in 2016/2017. From September 2019, he took over the redesign and reconceptualization of the permanent archaeological exhibition of the Wittelsbach Museum as project manager for the town of Aichach an der Paar. From 2021 to 2024, he headed the Annaberg-Buchholz Municipal Museums, which also include two objects in the UNESCO World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří. Subsequently, he worked on, among other things, smithing slags from the Manching oppidum and worked as a freelancer on a joint project between the Coin Cabinet of the Dresden State Art Collections and the Adam-Ries-Association.
