Linteln Geest

The Linteln Geest is bordered by the River Aller to the southwest, the Middle Weser Region to the west, the Wümme Depression to the north and the Lüneburg Heath to the east.

The region is agricultural and characterised by morainic hills, small villages and individual farmsteads as well as expansive tracts of forest, heath and bog.

It was packed in a wooden box and sent to the Museum of Ethnology in Berlin.

During the bombing raids on the city during the Second World War the body was lost however.

In the Elisabethfehn Moor Museum, a tuft of hair from the bog body is on display.
