The palace park in Putbus still exists, but the palace does not.

Researchers have now explored its underground remains using state-of-the-art technology.

A virtual model is to be created from these.

Putbus - State-of-the-art technology is used to investigate the remains of Putbus Castle on Rügen. Torsten Veit, art historian at the University of Greifswald, described the vehicle used on Tuesday as a “high-tech lawnmower”. "That means you have a radar device that can look into the ground using sensors and document the structures that are still there and visualize them as a 3D model." The device comes from a cooperation between the University of Vienna and the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamik (Zamg), also from Vienna.

The device drove across the place where the lock once stood to demonstrate the method.

Together with photographs, according to Veit, a model of above and below ground structures is to be created on the computer.

The campaign is part of the mansion center at the University of Greifswald, from which up to 15,000 manor houses and mansions and castles in the Baltic Sea region are to be researched.

Carlo Wloch, restorer on Rügen, said of Putbus Castle: "It was considered the most modern and most beautiful castle in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania." It had previously been rebuilt after a fire at the end of the 19th century.

The origins of the complex reached back to the Middle Ages.

In the 1960s, the GDR government then blew up the building.

It was an ideologically motivated act.

That was the nobility. ”At first the castle wasn't even damaged.
