Galgenberg

Located at 52.1277495 latitude and 10.718975 longitude, Galgenberg rises 4 meters high with a diameter of 20 meters in the Wolfenbüttel district.

Archaeological excavations in 1907 revealed multiple burials from different periods, including two Hocker burials from 1800 BC and a Merovingian woman's grave from the 7th century.

The burial mound contained valuable artifacts including bronze fittings, glass beads, and gold-plated bronze items indicating the social status of the buried individuals.

The elevation of this natural monument provides observation points toward the regions of Harz, Asse, and Elm, with bench seating available near the linden tree.

A Merovingian woman's burial included specific leg binding sets typical of wealthy Frankish and Alemannic women, suggesting migration patterns in the region.
