description
The burial chamber with the dimensions of 10 meters long and 2.5 meters wide lies in a southwest-northwest orientation about four meters above the river. Part of the north-east end has probably been washed away by the river and crashed. The grave would then have had six capstones. Since the end of 2016, the burial chamber has been the end of a timeline , which is an artistic room installation using metal steles.
The megalithic complex from the Neolithic was created by the funnel beaker culture (TBK) between 3500 and 2800 BC. Built in BC. Neolithic monuments are an expression of the culture and ideology of Neolithic societies. Their origin and function are considered to be the hallmarks of social development. The passage grave is a form of Neolithic megalithic systems, which consists of a chamber and a structurally separated, lateral passage. This form is primarily found in Denmark, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as occasionally in France and the Netherlands.
