Gräberfeld Bettelbühl

Seven ancient burial mounds form this archaeological complex, with the main mound measuring 50 meters in diameter and rising 3.7 meters above ground level.

The central burial chamber, excavated in 2010, dates precisely to the winter of 583/582 BCE based on dendrochronological analysis of preserved wooden structures.

Archaeological findings include a child's grave containing bronze fibulae with gold decorations, gold pendants, glass ring beads, and numerous bronze rings.

The site remains under protection as a ground monument, with ongoing excavations revealing additional burial chambers and precious artifacts for research purposes.

Researchers discovered over 40 golden ornaments and 100 amber objects within a single princely burial chamber, indicating high social status of the interred person.
