Dolmen in Klecker Wald

The Dolmen in Klecker Wald is a megalithic structure where large horizontal stones rest on vertical supports to form a burial chamber. The arrangement creates a distinctive covered passage and internal space typical of this building type.

The tomb was built between 4000 and 3000 BCE by the Funnelbeaker culture during the Neolithic period. It stands as evidence of the engineering knowledge and organization of these ancient communities in Northern Germany.

The burial site reflects how early farming communities honored their dead and organized their society around shared rituals. Visitors can sense the importance these monuments held for group identity and continuity across generations.

The site is located in a forest area and requires walking along woodland paths to reach it. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for uneven and potentially wet ground conditions.

The stones were positioned with unusual precision for a megalithic structure of this age. Evidence suggests that multiple generations may have used this burial place over several centuries.
