Hügelgrab von Wiera
Hügelgrab von Wiera submitted by Creative Commons : The Hügelgrab von Wiera is a round barrow in Schwalmstadt (Hesse/Germany). It dates from the Bronze Age (1700-1200 BC). By Oliver Deisenroth (Own work) [GFDL or CC BY-SA 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons (Vote or comment on this photo)
The Hügelgrab von Wiera is a round barrow in Schwalmstadt (Hesse/Germany). It dates from the Bronze Age (1700-1200 BC).

The skeleton was buried in a wooden coffin. The coffin was covered with stones ("Steinpackung"). This stone core, which is 4 m broad, was covered with earth, resulting in a tumulus that was 11 m broad and probably 2 -3 m high. The mound was surrounded with and stabilised by a stone circle, which consists of stones that are up to 1.2 m high.
Today, the stone core and the stone circle can be seen.
