Sooooooooo, what was it doing in Germany that long ago? When the Romans got there 1000yrs later, they were pretty backwards...Why would they have gold?
No kidding. To put this in perspective this was the time of the Egyptian, Hittite, Assyrian, Babylonian and early Greek kingdoms. How that ended up in the sticks of Germany is a good question.
Here is a map of that period:
