The Bronze Age in Central Europe, from the late third to the early first millennium BC, demonstrates rich sources for textiles deriving from diverse contexts such as lakeside dwellings, salt and copper mines, and burials. Pictorial sources are sparse, though stelae display interesting clothing details, some of which correspond with archaeological finds in their design. Furthermore, textile tools offer hints on the production processes, and placement patterns in burials indicate certain garments. Here we present the current evidence on clothing design in the Bronze Age along with case studies on recreated costumes from the Early (Unterwölbling Culture) and Middle Bronze Age (Pitten and Winklarn). Their appearances are strikingly different, thus showing the innovations and differences in fashion and design that occurred in this period and ways to show high status through clothing and accessories. In addition, we discuss the questions and approaches when recreating such costumes, and the reasons for doing so, including science communication in museums, schools, and directly at archaeological sites.
