Grave field at Liebersee
The burial ground west of the village on the B 182 , which has been occupied by the most diverse cultures of the region for almost 2000 years, is of importance for archeology . On a total of four hectares , around 2000 burials from the younger Bronze Age to the end of the Migration Period were recovered. In addition to the cemetery of Niederkaina in Upper Lusatia, it is the largest known burial site in Saxony.
In 1957 the first cremation graves were discovered and recovered when a potato heap was built. In the 1960s and 1970s, emergency rescues were repeatedly carried out at the construction of a construction warehouse. From 1975 to 1979 the central part of the burial place of 1.4 hectares was excavated by K. Kroitsch. From 1995 to 1998 a follow-up examination of the peripheral areas was carried out as part of a DFG project due to the importance of the site. Another 500 graves were recorded.
The occupation begins in the younger Bronze Age with around 500 urn graves, of which around 50 still belong to the time of outside groups. Culturally, the graves belong to the Lausitz culture . Another 1,000 urn graves date from the subsequent pre-Roman Iron Age. The early sections are characterized by mostly narrow urn graves with few additional vessels and belong to the Billendorf group of the Lausitz culture.
The younger sections show an increased influence of the Jastorf culture in the individually placed urns with cover bowls. Fire pit and embankment graves are completely missing. No graves were found from level LT D 2 (2nd half of the 1st century). There seems to have been an interruption in occupancy of several decades. The occupation begins again in late August, spatially separated from the last pre-Roman graves. Around 40 graves date back to the earlier Roman Empire, including two body graves. Otherwise, urn graves predominate, from level B 2 also fire pits and embankment graves occur. About 70–90 fire pits and ten urn embankment graves date from the later Roman Empire. The graves belong to the group of Elbe Germans .
80 body graves and two horse burials as well as four Merovingian series grave groups with 34 human burials and one horse burial date from the subsequent migration period . 20 early medieval Slavic urn and incendiary graves with Prague-type vessels conclude the time.
The lake of the same name
Approx. 1 km southeast of the village is the lake of the same name. The districts of Dröschkau , Plotha and Staritz are located directly on the lake . The Elberadweg leads east around the lake. The lake is the premises of the Hülskens company, which extracts gravel from the lake.
