The Leeberg Niederhollabrunn in the market town Niederhollabrunn in district Korneuburg in Lower Austria is under monuments ( list entry ) and conservation ( list entry ) standing mound grave (Latin tumulus , plural tumuli ).

The Leeberg , which is round in plan, is 237  m above sea level. A. and protrudes around 10 m from the surrounding plain. There is a cross on the top of the hill. The tumulus was filled in during the Hallstatt culture. An improper excavation took place in the 19th century, from which all finds have been lost.

An occurrence of the pale poplar rose ( Alcea biennis ), which is very rare in Austria and threatened with extinction, at the foot of the slope.

The hill consists of loess or loess clay. Due to the steepness and aridity of its slopes, the Leeberg could not and cannot be used for agriculture and valuable Pannonian dry grasslands formed. In the Austrian dry grass catalog these were classified as regionally important and represent a species-rich island in the now cleared arable landscape. Destruction by fertilizer and pesticide drift from the surrounding intensive agricultural cultivation is however likely.
