Tumulus Großmugl, Archaeological burial site in Lower Austria, Austria
The Großmugl tumulus rises 16 meters above the surrounding plains, marking the largest burial mound of the Hallstatt period in Central Europe.
Built between 750 and 450 BC, this monumental grave structure dates from the Early Iron Age when powerful rulers controlled territories from fortified residences.
The prominence of this burial mound influenced the naming of the nearby village Großmugl, first documented in 1298 as Grassemugl, meaning large steep hill.
The Natural History Museum in Vienna, District Museum in Stockerau, and MAMUZ Castle Asparn/Zaya display archaeological findings from the Großmugl excavations.
Modern non-destructive survey methods revealed an extensive ritual site near the mound, while the main tumulus remains unexcavated since its discovery in 1871.
