Langer Berg

The Lange Berg lay east of Baalberge near the post windmill. Several other burial mounds originally existed in and around Baalberge, and all except the Schneiderberg were destroyed in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The Schinderberg, near today's cemetery, was destroyed in 1793. The Evangelienberg lay between Baalberge and Bernburg, a mound at Rönitz was removed in 1794, and the Tochauer Berg near Kleinwirschleben was also destroyed.

Several preserved mounds remain in the wider area: the Stockhof mound near Gröna to the west, and the Pfingstberg, the Pohlsberg and the Spitze Hoch near Latdorf and the Fuchsberg near Weddegast to the north. Also to the north lie the three megalithic tombs Heringsberg near Grimschleben, Bierberg near Gerbitz and Steinerne Hütte near Latdorf.

The existence of several burial mounds at Baalberge was first recorded by Johann Christoph Bekmann in his Historie des Fürstenthums Anhalt of 1710 and in the Baalberge church chronicle of 1742.

In the middle of the 19th century the mound was transferred to a farmer, who was to use its earth to level hollows in a neighbouring field. Between 1853 and 1854 the mound was removed completely, and several stone cists came to light. The farmer kept some of the objects they contained. Paul Höfer, who took part in an excavation at the Schneiderberg in 1901, learned some details about the Lange Berg from the farmer's son and published them the following year.

A lecture published in 1896 by a school director named Fischer may also refer to the Lange Berg. It cites statements about a burial mound opened near Baalberge in 1825. Höfer supposed that this was a misprint and that 1852 was meant.
