'... ist ... das Elbgebiet nicht repräsentativ für die Gräber vom Typ
Lübsow. ... Bezüglich der fehlende Fürstengräber vom Typ Lübsow im
Rhein-Weser-Gebiet macht er darauf auifmerksam, dass sich dies nicht
unbedingt aus der Sozialstruktur erklären lässt; die römischen
Historiker sprechen nämlich von einem Adel auch dort. Der Verf. erhebt
somit die Frage, ob die Gräber vom Lübsow-Typ neben ihrer sozialen
Aussage auch eine Kulturelle Erscheinung seien.'
" ... the Elbe area [is] not representative of the Lübsow type graves
... Wrt. the the lack of princely Lübsow type graves in the
Rhine-Weser area [the author] points out that this cannot necessarily
be explained from the social structure; the Roman historians speak of
a nobility also there. The author thus raises the question whether the
Lübsow type graves beside their social statement might also be a
cultural phenomenon."

'Lübsow-Gruppe
Gruppe germanischer Gräber des 1. und frühen 2. Jahrhunderts in
Nordböhmen, Großpolen, Pommern, Mecklenburg und Dänemark.'
"Lübsow Group
group of germanic graves of the 1st and early 2nd century in Norther
Bohemia, Malopolska, Wielkopolska, Mecklenburg and Denmark"
I don't think my scenario is in trouble here.
