One of the largest burial grounds in Hamburg is located near Fuhlsbüttel. The urn cemetery was discovered in 1873 when the first urns were found during excavation work for the "Santa Fu" prison. Major excavations took place in 1914 in the course of the regulation of the Alster. In total, there were probably up to 5,000 urns on the site, of which only about 500 were recovered. Many burials were equipped with grave goods - tools of the trade, costume, and jewellery accessories - which were typical for Germanic women.
