From the Middle Ages onwards, three-legged grapen and handle pots made of grey or red earthenware as well as bronze were used for cooking food, which stood in the embers of the open hearth. The small bronze grapen served as a toy, as clay miniature vessels from clear find contexts prove again and again.

Middle Ages: The beginning of the Middle Ages is generally equated with the end of the migration of peoples in Europe, which came to a halt at about the end of the 5th or beginning of the 6th century AD, and the concomitant collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The Middle Ages stood between antiquity and modern times and are characterised by the confluence of Christian and ancient as well as Celtic, Germanic and Slavic developments. With the Renaissance and the Reformation, the modern era began at the latest at the beginning of the 16th century.

Age: 1600 - 1700 n. Chr. Modern period
Modern period: The modern era began around 1500 with the Reformation and the discovery of America. Characteristic of this era are the enormous changes in society, not only in Europe, which were triggered by events such as the French Revolution, wars, and, last but not least, industrialisation. New technologies made it possible to produce mass goods, and industrial production shifted to cities, which grew into large towns. The invention of new, faster means of transport shortened travel times. Goods, fashions and ideas could now be exchanged much more quickly and widely than before. The end of the First World War in 1918 marked the beginning of modernity, the main feature of which was the ever faster development of progress.
