Siedlungskammer Rullstorf, Archaeological site in Rullstorf, Germany

The archaeological site spans 24 hectares on the Kronsberg elevation near Rullstorf, rising 27 meters above sea level with deposits from multiple ice ages.

From 1979 to 2009, archaeologists conducted extensive excavations, revealing continuous human settlements from the Upper Paleolithic period through the early Middle Ages.

The site contains 150 late Saxon burials and a significant field of 42 horse graves, indicating strong equestrian traditions in the historical Germanic communities.
