Brautberg, Bronze Age burial mound in Bordesholm, Germany

The Brautberg tumulus measures 35 meters in diameter and rises 8 meters high, reaching a total elevation of 41 meters above sea level.

Dating from 1700 BC, the mound contains a large stone grave, with subsequent burials in tree coffins and urns added throughout ancient times.

The site holds a collection of four significant erratic boulders, one featuring distinct cupmark depressions, positioned along the mound's slope.

The burial mound, located 1 kilometer north of Bordesholm, serves as an outdoor wedding venue from May to September on the first Saturday morning of each month.

An adjacent archaeological field contains over 5,500 discovered urns, making it one of the largest ancient burial grounds in northern Germany.
