The excavation revealed a well-preserved early Celtic burial chamber, a rare find in Germany, with construction indicating the high societal status of its occupant.
Built between 620 and 450 B.C., this princely burial mound was notable for its impressive dimensions, indicating its historical and cultural significance among the Celts.
The exceptional preservation of this chamber tomb resulted from the anaerobic, waterlogged soil conditions unique to Riedlingen, protecting it from decay over centuries.
Despite looting and damage from ancient tomb robbers, this burial chamber’s solid oak construction remained intact, showcasing advanced woodwork techniques of the early Celts.
