In a paper from 1942 Johannes Iversen described a warm phase prior to the Allerød warming from lake Bølling in western Denmark and thereby extended the common classification of Lateglacial biostratigraphy. Iversen’s assumptions concerning the Bølling-Oscillation were based on sedimentological features and high Betula (birch) pollen values in two pollen samples prior to the onset of the Allerød warming. Questions regarding the nature of the Bølling warming later became a discussion due to the expansion of terms into different fields and especially with advances in palynology. To further refine the knowledge on the Bølling-Oscillation, Hartmut Usinger investigated the locus classicus in 1982. The method of pollen-size-frequency distribution was applied on birch pollen in order to distinguish between B. nana- and B. pubescens-type pollen, however, the results were never published and got lost over time. Therefore, these data are presented here and the method as described by Usinger (Pollenanalytische und stratigraphische Untersuchungen an zwei Spätglazial-Vorkommen in Schleswig-Holstein, 1975, Danm Geol Unders Årbog, 1977:5–29, 1978a, Pollen Spores 23:389–432, 1981b) is performed on the reassembled dataset again. In order to solve existing ambiguities in Lateglacial terminology, especially concerning the terms Bølling and Meiendorf, we used the data originally compiled by Usinger to discuss it against the background of the previous work by Iversen. Furthermore, the dataset enabled a comparison of different ways to determine between different Betula pollen types. The general focus is set on the distinction of Betula pollen types in order to shed light on the question of the migration of tree birches into northern Europe, especially before the Allerød warming. The results show that the dataset can immensely refine Iversen’s pollen zones. A clear dominance of dwarf birch pollen during the Bølling-Oscillation is demonstrated. Furthermore, the record reveals that Iversen’s assumption concerning the existence of a climatic oscillation prior to the Allerød warming can be confirmed at the locus classicus
