history

Flooding of the street of the same name leading to the Schwalbenberg in May 2013

The natural elevation served people in prehistoric times as a burial place for their dead. But it was only in the modern era that the population's chance discoveries, including the discovery of so-called “ Harstedter Rauhgefäß ”, brought the traces of early settlement back to the public consciousness after thousands of years. In 1821, an urn chamber with several funeral urns was discovered.

Natural landscapes

In the years from 2010 to 2012, two “nature information boards” were set up on and on the Schwalbenberg to “make the unique natural landscape tangible ” and to “strengthen regional identity ”:

The 8,000 euro project went from the collaboration of the Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the city of Celle with volunteer conservationists out and was financially supported by the Lower Saxony Bingo Foundation , the Nature Conservation Foundation Celler country and by Ortsrat Lachtehausen .
