155 Hamburg-Stellingen
This urn, which contained the cremated remains of a child who died around 3,000 years ago, came from an allotment garden on the railway embankments near Elbgaustraße. Other urns were excavated in neighbouring plots. So there must have been a large urn cemetery here in the Iron Age.

Age: 800 - 500 v. Chr. Iron Age
Iron Age: With the beginning of iron smelting around 700 BC, the new, harder iron took the place of bronze. The Iron Age is the third major period in human history after the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. In northern Europe it is divided into the Pre-Roman Iron Age, which covers the period from the end of the Bronze Age to the expansion of the Roman Empire at the turn of the century. And the Roman Imperial Period, in which the completely new way of life introduced by the Romans, can also be clearly seen in Free Germania. With the introduction of writing, European prehistory ends - early history begins.
