Very easy to get to by car. It is right next to a street in the village of Anderlingen, with easy parking.

In September 1907 local farmer Gerdt Heinrich Brandt wanted
to salvage the material of one of the Round Barrows on his property,
when he suddenly found the remains of a stone cist.
He informed the local historic researcher Müller-Brauel, who
examined the cist and safed a few metal remains, including
a bronze axe. The cist had been disturbed before, for example
one of the three capstones had been moved to the side.
After that, the remains of the cist stayed there, and the autumn
rains washed the stones clean.
In January 1908 someone discovered carvings on one of the
supporting stones: The picture of three figures had become visible.
Now the Museum in Hannover was alarmed, and they send
Dr. Hans Hahne for a thorough examination.
Hahne found more stone settings, connected to the cist and
the barrows surrounding circle of stones.
The inner size of the chamber is 2m x 0.7m x 1m and it was
constructed appr. between 1700 and 1400 BCE.
Later the remains of the cist were moved to the museum in
Hannover, and rebuild outside in the park.

The original carved stone of course is safed inside the museum.

After 100 years, the cist and a Round Barrow have been
reconstructed in the village of Anderlingen, the cist in the
original location. Luckily the reconstruction seem to have been well
planned and beautifully finished in 2008. This place is well worth
a visit, a unique experience.
