history
Even before the migration of peoples began in late antiquity , the “Mudisa” settlement was built around the year 250 on the site of today's Misburg. In 1958, local researcher and archaeologist Anton Scholand , together with Rudolf Niemeyer and FW Lüttje, uncovered a cemetery that was used around the 4th and 5th centuries on a dune in front of the Seckbruch , where the former farm 11 of the farmer Tegtmeier was located . 38 ceramic urns were found as artifacts .
In place of the former cemetery, a memorial stone with an inscription plaque was later placed.
"In memory of the Misburg urn cemetery (,) which was laid out during the migration period - around 5th century AD - here on a dune in front of the Seckbruch - the later courtyard no. 11 - and was excavated by Anton Scholand in 1958."
