I found the website below to try to find info on viewing it possibly and I wanted to know what they learned from further examination. I couldn’t find anything but I also only looked in your link, the Bavarian state office of the preservation of monuments website, and the one I found where I copied this bit from.

“Mathias Pfeil, head of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, said: “The sword and the burial still have to be examined so that our archaeologists can classify this find more precisely. But it can already be said: the condition is exceptional! A find like this is very rare!”
Whether the sword was locally crafted or was imported is currently being investigated. There are three main distribution centres during the bronze age for octagonal swords of this type, one in Southern Germany and the others in Northern Germany and Denmark.”
