Palaeosols and their cover sediments of a glacial landscape in northern central Europe: Spatial distribution, pedostratigraphy and evidence on landscape evolution

•The largest local record of palaeosols in northern central Europe is presented.•Most palaeosols are Cambisols, Arenosols and Gleysols.•A share of 9% of the study area has buried land surfaces, totalling 5.7 km2.•They were dominantly buried in the late Holocene by anthropogenic soil erosion.•Implications on aeolian, colluvial, lacustrine, and telmatic dynamics were drawn.
