Koblenz (dpa / lrs) - After the scandal about human spine in flower pots, the regional archeology of Koblenz is faced with allegations of racist and sexist formulations.
According to the SWR on Wednesday, racist, sexist, homophobic and pornographic content, among other things, was shared in a Whatsapp group of around 30 mostly male amateur probe users named “NFG AW” (Ahrweiler Research Permit).
Two treasure hunters had therefore turned to the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD).
An employee of the state archeology describes himself in the chat as an administrator in scientific matters.
The agency can issue investigation permits that allow citizens to search for treasure using probes.
According to the broadcaster, an official from the state archeology is also threatened in the chat, which the SWR has in part.
One participant wrote that there was a “Christmas present” for him.
One picture shows a World War II bomb.
Instead of intervening against such statements, the administrator of the state archeology speaks up in the chat on topics such as “public drinking” or “Russian women”.
The Ministry of Science in Mainz informed the German Press Agency: "The contributions are out of the question and inappropriate."
State archeology distances itself from them.
She is neither the operator of the chat nor responsible for its content.
Your employees have been instructed to "not only leave this, but also from other probe chat groups".
In addition, the state archeology has initiated a legal review of the matter.
The process continues.

Meanwhile, according to SWR, some of the probe users referred to the “private character” of the chat.
The bomb was just a "pressure vessel" and that remark was a harmless joke.
Because of the racist, sexist and homophobic contributions, the authors had been remorseful and assured them not to write anything like that anymore.
The Koblenz branch of the State Archeology recently made headlines with two installations of human spine in flower pots on their desks.
The bizarre decorations were medieval bones from excavations.
