Dithmarscher Mountains
The Dithmarscher Berge , also called Dithmarscher Berge , are a group of three Bronze Age burial mounds south of Aukrug -Bünzen in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde in Schleswig-Holstein .
The graves are located on the road to Ehndorf and probably bear their name as a reminder of the battle of 1317. Gerhard the Great fought against the Dithmarschers near Bünzen , as the chronicler Presbyter Bremensis reported a hundred years later. Today's historians, however, doubt the truth of the report. The route from Bünzen via Ehndorf to Neumünster belonged to the Lübschen trade in the Middle Ages .
The hills have a diameter of approx. 30 m and reach a maximum height of approx. 3.00 m. With the Dithmarscher Mountains, a total of thirteen burial mounds have been preserved in the Aukrug Nature Park and placed under monument protection.
