The Mosesberg is a 62.9 meter high, Ice Age shaped elevation north of the village of Ketzür in the municipality of Beetzseeheide in the north of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . An important prehistoric urn burial ground was discovered on Mount Moses.

morphology

Like all other elevations in the area, the Mosesberg was created during the last, the Vistula cold period . Ice masses penetrating from the northeast to Central Europe formed the ridge of the Nauener Platte . Part of this plateau is Mount Moses, which the inland ice threw up. The Hasselberg was created in one of the edge layers following the ice edge layer  2 of the Brandenburg phase . It belongs to a chain of hills that can be traced from the southwestern Hasselberg , which was formed at Eisrandlage 2, over the Mosesberg and the Mühlberg. The range of hills forms the north-western end of the meltwater channel and the Todtlaake wetland .

Like many elevations in the area, the Mosesberg was also used as a burial place in prehistoric times. During excavation work, an urn grave cemetery was found on it , which was assigned to the early Iron Age . Other graves came from the early Roman Empire . A total of around 60 urns were secured during the excavations. Brooches , knives and buckles were found as grave goods . The finds were at least partially part of the private collection of the doctor and prehistory researcher Richard Stimming . In 1929, today's Jerichower Land District Museum in Genthin bought the collection. The exhibits can be seen in the permanent exhibition there. The sites are designated as a ground monument.

Protected areas

The hilly elevation of Mount Sinai is in the conservation area Westhavelland and Westhavelland Nature Park . It is also part of the SPA area (European bird sanctuary) in the Middle Havel Lowlands.
