Leubingen tumulus, Bronze Age burial mound in Sömmerda, Germany.

The earthen mound rises 7 meters high and contains a burial chamber measuring 3.90 by 2.10 meters, constructed with oak beam roofing.

Archaeological excavations in 1877 by Friedrich Klopfleisch revealed a burial site dating back to 1942 BC, marking it as an early Bronze Age grave.

The tomb contained remains of a 50-year-old man with gold jewelry, bronze tools, and decorated ceramic pots, indicating high social status.

The tumulus stands at coordinates 51°11'25.099" N and 11°10'11.937" E, with artifacts displayed at the Halle State Museum of Prehistory.

Between the 8th and 11th centuries, a Slavic community established a cemetery of 70 graves around the artificial hill.
