The overgrown barrow seen from the Southeast.
According to a local legend it's said that a Graf (Count or Earl) von Süderleda
was buried in the barrow.
However the barrow's name (probably meaning Gräberberg = "Graves Mountain")
seems to be older than the legend.
I suppose the name actually relates to the large urn cemetery around the barrow.
