Die Architektur der Schatzhäuser von Olympia: Spuren des griechischen Westens im Mutterland

Since June 2018, research has been conducted on the treasury buildings from the Archaic and Early Classical periods in Olympia. The new study is based on the estate of the bauforscher Klaus Herrmann, who passed away in 2015, with the aim of compiling all information on the buildings into a final publication. To this end, a new overall plan of the treasury terrace and new architectural drawings of series of architectural elements not yet recorded, as well as computer drawings of the reconstruction of the treasuries, have been produced. Another interesting question discussed here is the provenance of many of these buildings from the home cities of the western Greek colonies in southern Italy, Sicily and Albania.
