The Chiemgau meteorite crater strewn field (Chiemgau impact)
In the Bronze Age/Celtic era, a few thousand years ago, a large cosmic body penetrated the Earth’s atmosphere and caused a huge natural catastrophe in the region of southeast Bavaria (Germany). A group (Chiemgau Impact Research Team, CIRT) comprising researchers from geosciences (geology, geophysics, geomorphology, impact research, mineralogy petrology), astronomy, archeology and science of history in cooperation with local historians is working on this extraordinary and spectacular event having revealed a host of new and exciting findings. A special website dedicated to this event and its investigation may be clicked here:

There you will find a comprehensive description of the research and its results as well as a compilation of all publications on the topic so far existing. Also, the many conflicts and controversies which are inevitable with such a spectacular research objective comprising new ideas and research approaches are not omitted on the web site.
