I saw a documentary (part of a series, you can watch this from the UK (at 30 minuts in), unlike iplayer which you can't watch outside the UK) on the Himmelsscheibe a couple of weeks ago. Its history is really quite bizarre. Around the time it was buried there was a huge volcanic eruption that darkened the sky and due to the lack of sunlight made crops fail. The people took this as a sign that the gods (it was a sun cult) had abandoned them and got rid of the now useless tool.
I am very envious of those cufflinks (Manschettenknöpfe, not Mannschaftknöpfe)!
