prehistory

From the fourth millennium BC The remains of a stone grave date from the Neolithic Age , but today it is completely destroyed. A number of burial mounds from the Stone and Bronze Ages have also been preserved in the area around the village . The specimens on the sports field in the village are impressive. This group of burial mounds originally consisted of at least a dozen specimens. When the sports field was expanded, three of them were excavated in 1950 (excavation Museum Lüneburg), and another was archaeologically examined in 1978. The oldest burial dates back to the late Neolithic (around 2000 BC), other finds belong to the subsequent Bronze Age; u. a. a lance tip and the remains of a bronze sword (around 1800 BC). A number of urns (around 800 BC) date from the transition from the Younger Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age . Further finds were discovered in the closer and further vicinity, the dating of which confirms the entire temporal spectrum of this group of monuments and which prove that this must have been much more extensive once. A total of seven such burial mound groups are known from the district of Südergellersen. In the neighboring district of Heiligenthal, the Institute for Monument Preservation, not far from an urn cemetery known since the 19th century, examined a Bronze Age hill that contained one of the most impressive ornamental costumes of the Lüneburg Bronze Age.
