antike Stadt in Mesopotamien
Ur was one of the most important cities in ancient Mesopotamia, located in what is now southern Iraq near the Euphrates River, and it served as a significant city-state beginning around the 26th century BC. The site, now called Tell el-Muqayyar, was originally situated on the coast of the Persian Gulf, though changes in the coastline have left it inland today.

Ur, der heutige Tell el-Muqejjir, ist eine der ältesten sumerischen Stadtgründungen und altes Zentrum in Mesopotamien (Zweistromland, im heutigen Irak). Eine Zikkurat des Mondgottes Nanna gehört zu ihren wichtigsten Bauwerken. Die Anfänge der Stadt reichen bis ca. 4000 v. Chr. zurück. Sie ist heute eine bedeutende archäologische Ausgrabungsstätte. Die Stadt liegt in der Nähe der heutigen Stadt Nasiriya. Nach der Überlieferung des Alten Testaments der Bibel stammt der Patriarch Abraham aus Ur (Gen 11,28.31 ). Die archäologischen Stätten von Ur zählen, zusammen mit denen von Uruk und Eridu und Marschlandgebieten im Südirak, zum UNESCO-Welterbe.
