Dobberworth

The Dobberworth or Dubberworth is one of the largest prehistoric tumuli in northern Germany, located on the isle of Rügen near Sagard [1]. The Dubberworth is about 15 metres tall, and was made from an estimated 22,000 cubic metres of earth, making it the largest tumulus in Rügen [1]. Archaeologists have not been able to date the tumulus precisely, but assume it was used during the Bronze Age [1]. According to local legends, the Dubberworth was made by a giant who intended to fill a narrow ford linking two nearby Bodden and lost the clay on their way [1].
