Grabhügel von Dieskau, Bronze Age burial mound in Dieskau, Germany
The Grabhügel von Dieskau is a Bronze Age burial mound featuring an internal chamber designed for interment. The structure contained stone foundations and wooden supports that reinforced the underground burial space.
The burial mound was built during the Early Bronze Age as part of the Unetice culture roughly 3.800 to 3.500 years ago. Excavations in 1979 uncovered and documented the construction methods and burial practices of that era.
This burial mound served as the final resting place for a person of considerable wealth, as evidenced by the carefully built chamber inside. The construction methods reflect both local practices and influences from distant Bronze Age societies.
The mound sits in open grassland and is accessible on foot, though it offers little shade or on-site facilities. Visitors should expect a natural outdoor setting and come prepared with comfortable walking shoes.
Foundation pits were arranged on all sides of the chamber, likely serving as anchors for the roof structure. This particular building technique demonstrates the refined craftsmanship of Bronze Age builders.
