Fürstengrab vom Ailenberg, Archaeological site in Stuttgart, Germany

The Fürstengrab vom Ailenberg contains an Alemannic male burial chamber constructed at a prominent position overlooking the Neckar Valley.

In 1857, winegrower Karl Kopp discovered this burial site near the Mélac Tower, containing remains of a 30-year-old man from the 5th century.

The burial chamber revealed a collection of weapons, including a spatha sword, reflex bow plates, and three-winged arrowheads, indicating Alemannic warrior traditions.

The archaeological findings from this site are now preserved and studied through the Research Archive at the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Cologne.

The golden belt buckle with garnets found in the grave matches similar items discovered only in the princely tombs of Apahida, Romania.
