The Lindsbjerg Dysse ( Danish also Lindsbjerg Bakke) is a megalithic complex of the funnel beaker culture (TBK), which is located about 300 m east of Kalvehave in the southeast of the Danish island of Ærø and between 3500 and 2800 BC. BC originated. The large stone grave is not, although the name suggests, a dolmen , but one of the few double-aisle graves in the long hill on the southern Danish islands.

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. 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. There are 57 double- aisle graves in Denmark ( called Dobbelt- or Tvillingejættestue in Danish ), mainly in Jutland and on the island of Zealand . In Sweden there are three dubbelgånggrifter in Skåne ( Snarringe , Stenhögen and Stora Kungsdösen ).

description

The giant bed is 27.5 meters long, six meters wide and one meter high. Only a few of the curbs of the hill have survived in the eastern area. It has two small disturbed chambers, of which essentially only the bearing stones have been preserved. The chambers, which are no longer recognizable, seem to have been oval. The destruction goes back to the German occupation during the Second World War , which used the facility as a flak position, and to the National Museum, which in 1945 undertook a failed restoration. Double-aisle graves usually have a common partition. However, some are located as separate plants, closely adjacent, in the same hill.

The passage grave of Kragnæs is nearby .
