The archaeological excavations in Memleben, led by the Saxony-Anhalt State Office for Monument Preservation and Archeology, have been ongoing since 2017. Memleben, a village steeped in history, is home to the former Memleben Abbey and a medieval Kaiserpfalz, or imperial palace. Otto II and his wife Theophanu founded the abbey to commemorate Otto I and his father Heinrich I, both of whom met their end in Memleben.
