The megalithic system of the funnel beaker culture (TBK) was created between 3500 and 2800 BC. The passage grave is a type of Neolithic megalithic system, 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. [1]
The facility can be viewed from above and is located in a mound in which a large funnel has been dug. The chamber has a size of 3.5 × 2.8 meters. The bearing stones are preserved, a smaller capstone is still on. The large capstone on the chamber is missing. Nearby is a long dolmen 45 m long and three other dolmens .
According to tradition, Røverkulen got its name from a robber named "Pibemanden" (pipe man), who is said to have lived here with his wife and 12 sons.
In Schleswig-Holstein there is a linguistic equivalent in the Idstedter robber cave .
