Fürstengräber von Marwedel, Ancient burial site in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The archaeological site contains multiple burial mounds with intricate grave arrangements, indicating the presence of high-ranking individuals during the Iron Age period.
The excavations in 1928 and 1944 revealed two confirmed burial chambers at depths of 2 meters, containing the remains of individuals from the 2nd century CE.
The graves contained metal vessels, weapons, and silver-inlaid spurs, demonstrating the advanced metallurgy and craftsmanship of Germanic tribes in this region.
The site is positioned near the confluence of the Jeetzel and Elbe rivers, southeast of Hitzacker, making it accessible for archaeological research and visits.
These graves stand out from other burial sites in the region as they feature inhumation burials rather than the typical cremation practices of the middle Imperial period.
