The barrow cemetery is located in the Lahnberge ridge in Marburg (Hesse/Germany). It contains 200 graves and dates from the Bronze Age to the late Pre-Roman Iron Age.
Several of the round barrows are located in the Southern part of the botanical garden. They stem from the Urnfield culture and date from 1000 BC. Information panels are located near the site (see coordinates).
