This region is characterized by extensive wetlands on the southern border of the Northern Lowland and has been the subject of several research projects on Mesolithic and Neolithic sites since the last century. In 2020, new research was carried out at this site, which, through the integration of archaeology, geophysics, and palynology, reconstructed the surrounding landscape.Lake Dümmer probably formed as a thermokarst lake at the end of the last ice age. Several sites are known along the lakeshore, ranging from the late Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age and possibly into the Iron Age and early Middle Ages. The prehistoric sites are found at different distances from the present day lakeshore.
