The heavily disturbed large stone grave Dahme northeast of Kellenhusen in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC as a megalithic complex of the northern group of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). It is a huge bed measuring 27 × 4.5 m with two rectangular pillars with a short corridor and the Sprockhoff no. 282. The placement of several megalithic systems in the same megalithic bed is rare in Germany (in contrast to Denmark).
The rectangular edging is still clearly visible, although most of the curbs on the northeast side are missing and the other three sides also have larger gaps. The remains of two small chambers can clearly be seen, which divide the giant bed into three roughly equal parts. Both lie diagonally in the giant bed, with the southern chamber reminiscent of a stone box with a 2.7 × 1.7 m oversized capstone. E. Sprockhoff calls both chambers dolmens.
Today there are four large oaks and numerous elder bushes in the megalithic bed, which are detrimental to the clarity. The grave is on private land in Dahmer Moor and is not open to the public.
