I was also in the Celtic Museum. There is a beautiful vivid show where everything about the Fürstengrabhügel, the excavation, the findings and the time is explained. There does not have to be read. Also suitable for children and illiterates. 🙂

Around 550 BC, a man aged around 40 to 50 was buried here with princely pomp. A mighty burial mound, around 6 m high and 60 m in diameter, was built over the burial chamber. It was not until the 1970s that traces of this mighty grave monument were found again. The Baden-Württemberg State Monument Authority carried out excavations from 1978 to 1979. The result was and still is sensational: the burial chamber was found completely unrobbed. The dead man was lying on a bronze couch. The prince wore the typical large gold collar and his dagger as a badge of status. Golden funeral jewelry suggests that the body was laid out in a ceremonial manner. The many fragments of fabrics and other objects are of particular importance. In keeping with his status, his four-wheeled, iron-clad cart with yoke and decorated bridle was placed in the grave. A showpiece of bronzesmithing from the Mediterranean region is the large lion cauldron, which contained over 400 litres of mead.

...the "Princely Burial Mound of Hochdorf/Enz" - a district of Eberdingen in the Ludwigsburg district, Baden-Württemberg.

- The grave was discovered in 1978.

- The grave is located in the "Biegel" area, on the northeastern edge of Hochdorf.

- Approximately 500 m from the Celtic Museum.

- The burial mound was reconstructed to its original size in the mid-1980s.

- Since 1991, the meticulously reconstructed ceremonial tomb of the "Celtic Prince of Hochdorf/Enz" can be viewed at the "Celtic Museum Hochdorf/Enz".

- The original finds from the Hochdorf Princely Grave are kept in the Württemberg State Museum in Stuttgart's Old Castle.
