Koberstadt, Archaeological site and grave field in Hesse, Germany.

The Koberstadt archaeological complex extends across a forest area between Dreieich-Dreieichenhain and Darmstadt-Arheilgen, spanning 10 kilometers from north to south.

Dating from the 8th and 7th centuries BC, the site contains 29 burial mounds with stone interior structures, leading to the definition of Koberstädter Kultur.

Archaeological excavations have discovered a kidney-shaped fortification measuring 330 meters, protected by walls, double ditches, and containing five gated entrances.

The burial mounds remain preserved within the forest, with artifacts from excavations displayed at the Hessian State Museum in Darmstadt.

Local legends tell of a pagan king who transformed into a deer and ruled over Koberstadt before the city mysteriously disappeared with its inhabitants.
