Central grave chamber in the large tumulus of Eberdingen-Hochdorf.
The monumental burial mound of Hochdorf contained a double-grave chamber constructed of wood. Buried inside was a member of the elite of the Late Hallstatt period. The man, who died around 530 BC, is known as the “Keltenfürst von Hochdorf” because of the extremely rich grave goods he was buried with.
