Facts and practical information

The Hochdorf Chieftain's Grave is a richly-furnished Celtic burial chamber near Hochdorf an der Enz in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, dating from 530 BC in the Hallstatt culture period. It was discovered in 1968 by an amateur archaeologist and excavated from 1978 to 1979. By then, the burial mound covering the grave, originally 6 m in height and about 60 m in diameter, had shrunk to about 1 m in height and was hardly discernible due to centuries of erosion and agricultural use.
