In fact, there is nothing to compare in northern Germany.
First of, the 'House of the Dead', the 'Totenhaus' that gave this place the groussom name. It is apprx. 3200 years old. A woman and her 2 year old child have been burried here. Obviously they had build a house arround the two, standing on 12 wooden poles. The place was covered with stones, size 7 by 7 metres. This house has been burned down, and now just the stones are left.
The second tomb is a big bathtube like construction of stones, and the third has the shape of a horseshoe.
Besides these three there is a small tumulus, and a pretty big one a little aside.
