Leubing princely tomb

The princely tomb or princely mound of Leubingen is located near Leubingen (a district of Sömmerda). This is the largest preserved princely mound from the Early Bronze Age. Thanks to a documented excavation in 1877, it is easy to get an idea of what the burial mound must have looked like inside.

An older man and a child of around ten years old were buried. 70 human skeletons were found in the upper part of the mound. The grave goods found included clay vessels, bronze dagger blades, bronze chisels and gold objects. According to investigations carried out in 2017/2018, the original diameter of the mound is said to have been at least 50 meters. Slavic graves dating back between 1000 and 1300 years were found during the excavation mentioned above. A tent-shaped mortuary hut made of oak wood at ground level dates back to the Aunjetitz culture (2200-1600 BC)

Not far away is the petrol station and rest area named after the Fürstenhügel. This is kept simple in its design so as not to distract attention from the actual attraction, the Princely Mound. There you can not only see an exhibition about the princely tomb, but also take a walk to the tomb itself. A footpath leads from the rest area to the mound and surrounds it in a circle.
