The fauna from the Große Grotte, a cave site in the Blau valley (southwestern Germany) is presented. Quantitatively, Ursus spelaeus is by far the main component. Its remains represent individuals – mostly juveniles – which died in the cave during hibernation. The cave was also used by other carnivores as well as by neanderthals. A relatively large proportion of the bones shows gnawing marks, whereas not a single butchering mark was recorded. Thus, the relative contribution of hominids to the accumulation of the carnivores and herbivore remains seems to have been limited at best. In any event, this fauna cannot be used to explore the subsistence practices of Middle Palaeolithic hominids. According to the microand macrofaunal remains, at least the upper layers (IV–II) were deposited under a cold spell within the first half of the Wuermian Glacial.
