Grave from the Neolithic Age
On the mountain Hoh there are significant grave arrangements from the middle Neolithic Age (approx. 3000 years B.C.), from a period in which the people were already established as farmers and cowmen in smaller, hamlet-like settlements. Residents owe this discovery to the Remlinger local native country orderly Norbert Koch whom in 1987 with one of his regular field celebrations struck in the near surroundings on special stone concentration. Only 10 years later a test excavation took place by employees of the former Brunswick district government which proved the existence of a poor chamber grave. Comparable neolithic arrangements are up to now, above all, from Sachsen-Anhalt and ThüringenThuringia
