Höhlenkinder – Im Pfahlbau

Höhlenkinder – Im Pfahlbau is the second volume of a youth trilogy by Alois Theodor Sonnleitner, published in the early 20th century. It follows orphans Eva and Peter as they are cut off from the outside world in a remote mountain valley and learn to survive like prehistoric humans. The narrative illustrates the evolution of humanity from the Stone Age through the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, reflecting on the children's development and adaptation. This volume focuses on their transition from a flooded cave to an earth hut and eventually to stilt houses over a lake.
