 Warrior of Hirschlanden -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The warrior wears a pointed hat, maybe — in analogy to the princely grave of Hochdorf - made of birchbark, a neck-ring ((A twisting force) torques) and a belt with a typical late Hallstatt dagger.
Much closer stylistic connections exist with the far more elaborate statues from Capestrano, Picenium, (A republic in southern Europe on the Italian Peninsula; was the core of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire between the 4th century BC and the 5th century AD) Italy (650-550 BC) and Casale marittimo (middle of the 7th century).
The statue was found in Hirschlanden (now Ditzingen-Hirschlanden, (Click link for more info and facts about Baden-Württemberg) Baden-Württemberg, (A republic in central Europe; split into East German and West Germany after World War II and reunited in 1990) Germany) in 1963 when a low barrow was excavated.

 Hirschlanden
The interpretation of the statue as that of a warrior is suggested by the prominently displayed antenna-hilted dagger.
Originally, the conical hat was declared to be a helmet (Kimmig 1965, 96), but since the discovery of the birch-bark hat in the Hochdorf burial, the consensus is that the Hirschlanden warrior is wearing a similar hat.
The oft-cited similarities to the Capestrano warrior, found in l'Aquila, and to the contemporary Lunigianese stelae from northern Tuscany, in addition to the Etruscan hand gesture noted by Megaw (1989, 45), suggest that a degree of late-Hallstatt-period contintuity obtained among sculptural workshops throughout the south German to north Italian area.

In the specific case of warrior statues, the weapons and dress depicted are clearly pre-Roman and the Latin inscriptions that appear on some statues are obviously of later date, one of them from the 17th century AD (Koch 2003).
However, the Gallaecian warrior statues were probably produced in the late second and first centuries BC and always appear linked to oppida or hillforts, while the Hallstatt examples are from the sixth to fifth centuries BC and are found in funerary contexts.
Warrior statues have appeared in several locations in northwestern Portugal and in the province of Ourense (Galicia) in the oppida of Rubiás and Armeá.

 Hirschlanden: comparanda, Ptoon Kouros   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The frontal composites clearly show that even the heftier kouroi are much longer in the thigh than the Hirschlanden warrior, and their calves taper to slender ankles.
The side-view composite of Hirschlanden with the Anavyssos kouros underlines the difference in proportions, in conception of the human figure.
Not only is the warrior quite lacking the the voluptuous buttocks and thighs of the kouros, but the very roundness of a three-dimensional human form seems foreign to it -- we are made distincly aware of the shallow block of stone from which it was carved.

It is possible that the hybrid heads represent the ambiguous image of a transit myth: that of the dead warrior to the Otherworld, as in the case of the paterae of Santisteban del Puerto (Jaén) or Tivissa (Tarragona) (Olmos 1996).
Above, in the disc, is a horse with some other kind of bird on it; in front of these are two warriors holding large round shields, a lance or a sword, apparently wearing on their heads and shoulders the skin of an animal (bear or wolf).
Similar conceptions were at the base of a funerary practice attested to among the Irish Celts (for example, the interment of king Loegaire): the body of the warrior was buried in an upright position and it wore weapons to protect the territory from the enemy (Velasco 1999).

 Berserks: A History of Indo-European "Mad Warriors"
As North American Indians had their distinct warrior societies, so Ancient Indo-Europeans had distinct warrior groups with their own customs and "willfulness." The Sanskrit word swadha ("inherent power, habitual state, custom") is the same word etymologically as Greek and English ethos and the Latin sodales ("men of an organization").(n91) Berserks would have formed such groups.
Northern warriors held their own against Rome at the peak of her power, which prompted Tacitus' quip that German freedom was deadlier for Rome than Persian despotism.(n149) After moving the Roman frontier to the Rhine, Caesar began to recruit northern warriors.
While amok warriors were every bit as brave and madly reckless as berserks, they seem not to have thrown off armor or garments in sight of the enemy, for they strutted about barechested as a matter of course.(n180) This robs us of an essential criterion for whether the amoks stand in the berserk tradition.

Beeser does not provide a side view, which would have illustrated his contention that the forward-jutting chin of the Hirschlanden warrior was cut from the beard of the Greek kouros.
Beeser also does not explain how the parallel stance of the Hirschlanden warrior could have been cut from a kouros, which by definition has a distinctly advanced left leg.
I have composited views of the Hirschlanden warrior with the Volomandra, Ptoon and Aristodikos kouroi to illustrate my contention that the Hirschlanden figure is an original work and could not have been cut down from a Greek kouros.

It is 35 years since Professor Vincent Megaw scandalised many of his learned colleagues by comparing the stylised faces on third-century BC Iron Age metalwork with the very twentieth-century image of Mickey Mouse.
The original site was near the Glauberg, a fortified hill-top settlement 32 kilometres north-east of Frankfurt, and it was there that a life-size stone statue of an Iron Age warrior was uncovered in 1996 by a team of archaeologists under the direction of Dr Fritz-Rudolf Herrmann.
Professor Megaw said a very similar statue of a slightly earlier period, also with missing feet, was discovered on the edge of a grave mound at Hirschlanden near Stuttgart in south-west Germany.
