Lancken-Granitz dolmens, Prehistoric megalithic tomb site in Lancken-Granitz, Germany.

The complex contains seven megalithic tombs constructed from glacial erratic boulders and red sandstone, arranged in specific geometric patterns near Klein Stresow.

Built between 3500 and 3200 BC by the Funnelbeaker culture, these burial structures remained active until the early Bronze Age period.

Archaeological excavations in 1969 revealed numerous funeral artifacts including flint hatches, stone axes, amber pearls, bronze needles, and pottery items.

The dolmens are located southwest of Lancken-Granitz village on Rügen island, accessible via the road connecting Lancken and Klein Stresow.

Three of the seven tombs feature distinct stone enclosures forming rectangles or circles, with one displaying an eastern guardian stone.
