It is a little-known find that is currently being intensively researched (2020). It is already the result of this research that the grave is classified as one of the most important grave finds in Northern Europe.

History to marvel at without admission and in Corona times without fear of crowds.

The "King's Grave" is considered the most important burial site of the 9th century BC in northern Central Europe. Its enormous size, the special construction of the burial mound, the large stone burial chamber with clay plaster and painting, together with the rich grave furnishings, reflect the existence of a Late Bronze Age elite in the Prignitz.
