Denghoog, Neolithic passage grave in Wenningstedt-Braderup, Germany.
The elliptical stone chamber measures five meters from east to west and three meters from north to south, covered by six massive capstones weighing 20 tons each.
First excavated in 1868 by Ferdinand Wibel, the burial site revealed multiple human remains, stone tools, and pottery vessels dating back to 3200-2800 BC.
The name Denghoog derives from Söl'ring language, meaning 'meeting hill', indicating its function as a communal gathering place during ancient times.
The site operates from April through October with varying hours, weekdays from 10:00-17:00 and weekends from 11:00-17:00, featuring a narrow passage entrance to the chamber.
Four distinct periods of burial practices have been identified at the site, demonstrating continuous ancestor worship spanning approximately ten generations.
