Culture and sights
- To the north of the village is the stone chamber near Dohnsen, a reconstructed and offset large stone grave from the Neolithic Age (3500–2800 BC).
- About 800 m east of Dohnsen, on the Lührsberg , a 77 m above sea level and about 500 m wide elevation, was discovered in 1936 by Hermannsburg archaeologist Hans Piesker , a settlement of the funnel cup culture (approx. 4200-2800 BC). From the originally 30,000 m² settlement, numerous post holes and settlement pits , but also several house floor plans, were uncovered. The houses were almost 6 m long and were buried between 0.80 m and 1.40 m in the ground. They had wicker walls thrown at them with clay . In addition, arrowheads , scrapers, a spearhead and fragments of hatchets made of flint stones were found and shards of vessels were excavated. The discovery of the spindle whorl made it possible to prove that wool or vegetable fibers were also processed here.
- The other partly preserved barrows in the area (see also barrows near Wohlde and Grabhügelfeld von Bonstorf ) testify that there was settlement here before and during the Bronze Age .
- The Sögel-Wohlde-Kreis is an early Bronze Age (around 1600-1000 BC) cultural group that is named after the places Sögel in the Emsland district and the Wohlde district in Dohnsen.
- The discovery of a bronze cup from Dohnsen could have links to the Mycenaean culture in the 16th to 15th centuries BC. Prove. However, the circumstances of the find are doubtful.
