The Österberg is located at 190m above sea level and according to HP should be in the period from 2800 to 2200 BC. Be an unexplored burial mound from the time of the cord pottery, or a pagan cult site in honor of the Germanic spring goddess Ostara.

Overall, you have a beautiful view of the Thuringian region here.

A beautiful historical place which is not maintained and appreciated. Unfortunately there is no information board. Garbage is lying around on the burial mound, although there is a wastebasket there.
The name Ostara (spring goddess, goddess of fertility) first appears in 673-735. In the EDDA - german. Ostara does not appear in legends and songs. Freya is the only love and fertility goddess among the Germans / Vikings
