Sonnenobservatorium Goseck submitted by Klingon on 21st Dec 2005. Picture from the re-opening at the winter solstice 2005.
A set of fireworks were placed between the two rings - nice effect.

Log Text: The solar observatory has been reconstructed impressively well. Perhaps not as impressive in terms of monumental dimensions as the ring sanctuary in Pömmelte. But a visit at the winter or summer solstice should definitely be worth the journey.

Heringsberg
Date Added: 9th Nov 2022
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 7th Nov 2022. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 4
Heringsberg submitted by Martin_L on 1st Jun 2012. The entrance in the SW. The massive chamber originally was covered by a barrow, 70m diameter and 10m high. The barrow is largely removed, but the chamber still partly embedded into remains of it and largely filled with earth. It is of trapezoidal shape, oriented SW-NE. Length is at least 9m, width over 3m at the NE-part. At least the NE-end orthostat is missing. It is hard or impossible to reach the site during growing season.
Thanks to the “Arbeitskreis Archäologie im Bernburger Land e.V...

The text is: Thorulf, hirdmand hos Sven, rejste denne sten efter sin fælle Erik, som fandt døden, da drenge (krigere) sad om Hedeby, og han var styresmand, en meget velbyrdig dreng. (In my translation: Thorulf, guard for Sven, set this stone for his friend Erik, who were killed when boys (warriors) fought at Hedeby, and he was the leader, a very honourable boy.
Note: This is a replica. The original stone can be seen at Landesmuseum Schloss Gottorf
