```html Groundbreaking for Mound Grave in Concrete Form in Burgenland ```

The groundbreaking ceremony for the burial mound in concrete form took place on Wednesday by Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ). Archaeological finds prove the settlement of the area for 8,000 years.

Opening of Burial Mound in Concrete Form Planned for 2026

The Schandorf region, together with other archaeological sites in Burgenland and sites in neighboring Hungary, forms a "hotspot" of prehistoric archaeology from the Stone Age to the Roman Imperial period. So far, five burial mound groups are known, comprising about 285 burial mounds. In the Austrian Schandorf forest alone, there are approximately 230 mounds. In collaboration with the Southern Burgenland Tourism Association and the state's archaeology department, an interactive exhibition is to be created by spring 2026. "Together we create a space where history comes alive," said Doskozil. The project is related to the "Archaeology Master Plan" launched in 2021.
