Additional info/contents	The inspiration for the composition of the march "DANUVIUS" was the discovery of a male individual of the extinct ape species Danuvius guggenmosi in a clay pit near Pforzen, the hometown of the composer Alexander Pfluger. Udo is a male individual of the extinct ape species Danuvius guggenmosi. The site of discovery is the Hammerschmiede clay pit near Pforzen. The age of the layer of finds was determined by geological methods to be 11.62 million years ago. The skeleton was nicknamed Udo because the first important finds were made on May 17, 2016, the 70th birthday of the artist Udo Lindenberg. The genus name Danuvius refers to the Celtic and Roman river god of the same name (the name of the Danube also goes back to him). The species name guggenmosi honors the Allgäu amateur researcher Siegulf Guggenmos (Dösingen), who died in 2018. Udo, alias Danuvius guggenmosi, became famous worldwide on November 6, 2019 when he was first published in the journal Nature. Udo attracted great international attention for four reasons: First, he is the first great ape to be able to walk upright on two legs. Second, despite his bipedalism, he lived mostly in trees. Third, his geological age exceeds the oldest known bipedal human precursors by almost 6 million years. Fourth, Danuvius lived in Europe and not in Africa, where the evolution of bipedalism has previously been located. Udo therefore presents science with new major puzzles. The Hammerschmiede clay pit is located in the municipality of Pforzen (approx. 2,300 inhabitants) in the Ostallgäu district, a few kilometers northwest of Kaufbeuren on the western slope of the Wertach valley. The site can be regarded as the most important paleontological discovery in Germany in recent decades.
