Holocene climate in Central Europe was characterized by variations on millennial to decadal time scales. Speleothems provide the opportunity to study such palaeoclimate variability using high temporal resolution proxy records, and offer precise age models by U-series dating. However, the significance of proxy records from an individual speleothem is still a matter of debate, and limited sample availability often hampers the possibility to reproduce proxy records or to resolve spatial climate patterns. Here we present a palaeoclimate record based on four stalagmites from the Hüttenbläserschachthöhle (HBSH), western Germany. Two specimens cover almost the entire Holocene, with a short hiatus in between. A third stalagmite grew between 6.1 ± 0.6 ka and 0.6 ± 0.1 ka and a fourth one covers 11.0 ± 0.4 ka to 8.2 ± 0.2 ka. Trace element and stable isotope data allow to compare coeval stalagmites and to reconstruct potential climate patterns in the Holocene. In addition, Sr isotopes reveal soil processes and recharge of the aquifer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the consistency of the proxy data recorded by the individual stalagmites and to validate the results using a multi-proxy approach. Due to the close proximity of HBSH ( |
