Next to it originally stood a broken lamp which I had removed and now I found this! Could gold be underneath? Hahahah! Wouldn’t budge when trying to open it.

  4. It could be a cesspit or septic tank. Basically, if you don’t have access to the sewers, waste water is stored in these tanks which have to be periodically [emptied and cleaned](https://www.arapustertal.it/media/1258/ara-kanal-003.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=1200&rnd=131879629680000000). Septic tanks differ from cesspits in that they partially treat the sewage to the point that the water can be safely passed into the soil (but the tank still fills up with solid waste and has to be emptied).

    It might not be in use any more, if your house is now connected up to a municipal sewer.

  6. Abandoned and overgrown fireplace. Seen these bowls a lot in Germany.

  8. Revisionsschacht? Is this between the House and the Street?

  10. Sieht aus wie eine Feuerschale.

  14. Keep digging around it until you know more.
    If there is no tank underneath, then the whole story becomes more interesting.
    It does look like an old, crushed Grill or fire plate when seen from the top view.

    But if there is a tank then do not open it.

    If it is some sort of lid, it is recommended to at least mark the spot somehow for posterity.

  16. We buried a lot of Gas Tanks. Poop Tanks are pretty uncommon

  20. A ww 2 anti tank mine. Just to stir up some shit.

    Most likely a fire pan or a manhole cover, but my guess is the fireplace.

  21. This is for carrots and cabbage in the wintertime. They stay fresh like in the fridge and don’t freeze.

  22. Judged by the handles and the chain pieces attached to it, it’s most likely a fireplace

  23. It has already been answered properly but on a pop-cultural sidenote, does it – by any chance – say 4 8 15 16 23 42 anywhere?

  25. This is an original underground Gulaschkanone. Nice one.

    We have one too. Keep it.

  26. If this is an old sewage tank then it is probably filled with debris/garbage. Could be anything then. These were required to be filled after the placement of the modern sewage tanks.
