Prehistoric Burial Mound Near Melbeck
Highlight • Historical Site
Prehistoric but very interesting evidence of the history of the settlement of the region.
"The first documentary mention of Melbeck can be found in document No. 90 of the monastery of St. Michaelis Lüneburg on May 11, 1265. This document confirms the sale of the watermill in Melbeck by the Knight Huner von Oedeme to the miller Friedrich von Melbeke.
Friedrich v. Melbeke was a member of the Melbeke patrician family in Lüneburg. Despite this documentary mention, Melbeck is likely to be much older.
Age research up to 1200 BC Chr. Mention, for example, that there are plenty of burial mounds south of Lüneburg. Ergo, this Melbeck area was already populated earlier. Grave finds and grave goods prove this assumption amply. "

Billerbeck – Western Section
Highlight • River
From 2009 to 2011 parts of the Billerbeck were renatured in the eastern section.
The straightened stream, which has long been used as a sewage ditch, has been able to develop freely in its new meandering stream bed on four hectares since summer 2011. A diverse new habitat for plants and animals has arisen around Billerbeck.
