Waldalgesheim chariot burial, Celtic archaeological site in Waldalgesheim, Germany.
The burial contains artifacts including a two-wheeled chariot, gold rings, bronze vessels, and decorative items discovered within the burial chamber.
A farmer named Peter Heckert found the burial site in 1869 while plowing his field, leading to the recovery of over 30 Celtic artifacts.
The burial reflects Celtic aristocratic customs through its collection of jewelry and ornaments, indicating the presence of a high-status female individual.
Visitors can view the recovered artifacts from this archaeological site at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum in Bonn, which maintains the collection.
The findings established the term Waldalgesheim Style, characterized by flowing organic designs that influenced Celtic art across Europe during the La Tène period.
