Gräberfeld von Oberflacht

The burial field contains over 300 graves arranged in systematic rows, featuring both urn and skeletal burials from the 6th and 7th centuries.

Discovered in 1810, the site underwent major excavations in 1933-34 by Walther Veeck, though documentation was lost during World War II.

The burial ground reveals Alemannic burial practices through preserved wooden artifacts, including beds, tables, and a complete lyre from a musician's grave.

The archaeological site is accessible during guided tours in summer months, with many artifacts displayed at the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart.

Due to groundwater conditions, numerous organic materials survived, providing exceptional insights into Alemannic daily life through preserved wooden objects.
