Grosser Helmersberg
Date Added: 15th Mar 2011
Site Type: Round Barrow(s)
Country: Germany (Lower Saxony, Bremen)
Visited: Yes on 18th Oct 2010
Grosser Helmersberg submitted by Andreas on 18th Oct 2010. The barrow a few years ago.
(photo from an information-panel at its smaller namesake)
The barrow's height is still about 3,25 m,
and the diameter about 28 m.
It's also known as Hermannsberg (= "Hermann's Mountain").
But who is/was Hermann? Possibly Arminius?
Or a saxon duke from the Billung-dynasty?
A local farmer?
Another candidate?
Without knowing a related legend everything is pure speculation.
