Remlingen is a village and a former municipality in the district Wolfenbüttel. Since 1 November 2016, it is part of the municipality Remlingen-Semmenstedt. Remlingen is close to Wittmar, which is an old village from miners in the Asse. There are 1824 inhabitants in the three villages of Remlingen (2015).Grave from the Neolithic AgeOn the mountain Hoh there are significant grave arrangements from the middle Neolithic Age, from a period in which the people were already established as farmers and cowmen in smaller, hamlet-like settlements. Residents owe this discovery to the Remlinger local curator Norbert Koch who, in 1987 with one of his regular field celebrations, found in the near surroundings a special stone concentration. Only 10 years later a test excavation took place by employees of the former Brunswick district government which proved the existence of a wall chamber grave. Comparable neolithic arrangements are up to now, above all, from Sachsen-Anhalt and Thüringen famously.This grave type was proved here for Lower Saxony and the north Harz foothills for the first time.The excavation of 1998 offered unique possibility to take insight into the lifestyle and the deatj culture of a neolithic population. Then the life of the stone-temporal inhabitants developed hard and rich in privation from what the average life expectancy of about 30 years testifies. Archeologists and anthropologists helped themselves with the most modern technologies. They the digitized three-dimensional documentation of wall walls, stone records plaster and the rests of the charred rafter roof of the burial chamber as well as see all the findings enabled.
