"Schwarze Berge" Burial Mound Field near Ralswiek
● Ralswiek
The burial mound field in the “Schwarze Berge” near Ralswiek comprises over 400 burial sites from the Slavic period. The “Schwarze Berge” near Ralswiek is home to Rügen’s largest burial mound field. The more than 400 burial sites from the Slavic period, most of which have been archaeologically investigated, extend over an area of approximately 400 x 700 m. The necropolis appears to be the burial site for the dead from the lake trading center of Ralswiek across the lake—presumably the oldest permanently settled place on Rügen. Numerous finds from the burial ground attest to extensive trade with Northern Europe and the Orient. Among the necropolis’s distinctive features are boat burials and a horseman’s grave in a wooden chamber. Author: Dr. Katrin Staude / Archäo Tour Rügen, archaeo-tour-ruegen.de
