The large stone grave in the Alt-Frerener Forest is a Neolithic passage grave with the Sprockhoff no. 875. It originated between 3500 and 2800 BC. And is a megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK). 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 well-preserved, east-west-oriented facility is located near the L66 in the forest, two kilometers northeast of Freren in the Emsland district in Lower Saxony .
description
In the large stone grave in the Alt-Frerener Forest, the mound of earth that once covered the facility is clearly visible. The 20.5 meter long chamber lies in an oval enclosure, of which only a few cap stones have survived. Most of the bearing stones of the chamber, however, have been preserved and are in situ . Three of the eleven cap stones are missing. Four are whole and the remaining four are only fragments. The clear width of the chamber is two meters near the center. The middle capstone is wide, but somewhat short, so that opposite the entrance a particularly wide bearing stone protrudes far into the chamber. An analogous, but reversed solution was also used for the Groß-Stavern 1 facility . The tapering from 2.0 to 1.5 meters towards both ends takes place in two jumps. The entrance is in the middle of the south side.
