Heuneburg, Celtic settlement and open-air museum in Hundersingen, Germany
Heuneburg is a Celtic oppidum with museum facilities in Herbertingen, situated on a hilltop above the Danube River. The settlement includes remains of fortifications, Iron Age reconstructions, and a modern exhibition hall displaying the archaeological discoveries.
The settlement was established in the 7th century BCE and functioned as a major trade and power center for approximately two centuries. The site was eventually abandoned as influence shifted to other regions.
The site shows how people traded and connected across vast distances in ancient times. Objects from the Mediterranean, the Baltic, and beyond reveal a network that stretched across the entire continent.
The site is situated at the edge of a nature reserve and is easily accessible on foot, with pleasant walking paths across the grounds. Seating areas and information boards help guide your visit, but plan to spend enough time to fully appreciate the setting.
One of Europe's largest prehistoric burial mounds, the Hohmichele, stands directly beside the settlement and has been partially excavated. This tomb reveals the connection between the powerful settlement and the elite burial practices of the era.
