# Translocal Heritage

**Translocal Heritage** (Translokales Erbe) refers to cultural heritage that transcends specific local or national boundaries and is shared, contested, or recognized across different regions.

In the context of the **Wikingergold** project, this concept is used to analyze how Viking gold treasures in the Baltic Sea region are not tied to a single modern nation-state but represent a shared history that has been interpreted differently by various regional actors over time.
