5,500-year-old Küsterberg megalithic tomb restored in Germany A 5,500-year-old megalithic tomb has been brought back to life in the heart of Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt region. Located in the forest near Haldensleben, the Küsterberg tomb—one of Central Europe’s most prominent Neolithic burial monuments—was officially inaugurated on April 27, 2025, to coincide with the annual Day of Megalithic Culture. This monumental reconstruction was carried out by the city of Haldensleben in collaboration with the State Office for Heritage Management and Archaeology of Saxony-Anhalt (LDA) and the Institute of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Archaeology of Kiel University. The tomb had been excavated earlier in several campaigns between 2010 and 2013 as part of the German Research Foundation’s Priority Program 1400, “Early Monumentality and Social Differentiation.” More information: https://archaeologymag.com/2025/05/kusterberg-megalithic-tomb-restored-in-germany/
