Books about Prehistory written in German for an interested non-professional public are notorious rare. Some days ago, one important overview about Paleolithic Archaeology (mainly of Middle Europe) was published, that is recommended to everyone interested in this issue:
Jürgen Richter Altsteinzeit: Der Weg der frühen Menschen von Afrika bis in die Mitte Europas
After six caves holding the oldest figurative artworks made by humans in the Swabian Alp region have declared a UNESCO World Heritage site there are some excellent publications about the Palaeolithic of this region, published by the Conard Group:
Kollektiv: Eiszeitarchäologie auf der Schwäbischen Alb: Die Fundstellen im Ach- und Lonetal und in ihrer Umgebung (Tübingen Publications in Prehistory)
And for advanced Readers:
H. Floss (Ed) Das Magdalénien im Südwesten Deutschlands, im Elsass und in der Schweiz; 2019
G. Bosinski G: Urgeschichte am Rhein; 2018
E. Bánffy: Spuren des Menschen; 2019
