Hans-Moor-Berg
The Hans-Moor-Berg is a Neolithic burial mound near Schürsdorf (municipality of Scharbeutz ) in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein . The name Han or Hon indicates a landscape that used to be surrounded by boggy bodies of water. This gave rise to names like this Hans-Moor-Berg or Hahnenmoor near Müden / Aller as well as place names like Hone (today Hohne b Celle) and Honovere (today Hanover) in Lower Saxony.
It is a slightly oval mound with a few trees overgrown with a diameter of over 20 m (more than 90 m circumference) and a height of about 6 m, making it one of the largest burial mounds in the southern Ostholstein district. The hill is a listed building and is located at the southern end of the village of Schürsdorf on the site of a tree nursery and nursery. It is not open to the public, but can be seen from the road adjacent to the site from a distance of around 70 m, as well as from the surrounding properties and state road 309 , which passes around 500 m away . During the Second World War the burial mound was the location of a flak searchlight .
